Why is Dhanteras on Sun 30 Oct in Diffa?
Dhanteras is on Sun 30 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:43–20:11. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:42 to 20:11.
Dwadashi until 19:12, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 19:12 to 17:10 Mon.
Trayodashi ended at 17:10; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 19:12 Sun to 17:10.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Pradosha. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Dhanteras puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 19:12 on Sun 30 Oct to 17:10 on Mon 31 Oct, so it touches only Sunday’s pradosha (17:43–20:11). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
