Why is Dhanteras on Tue 21 Oct in Diffa?
Dhanteras is on Tue 21 Oct: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:46–20:13. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:19 to 20:13.
Dwadashi until 19:00, inside pradosha; then Trayodashi. Trayodashi: 19:00 to 16:25 Wed.
Trayodashi ended at 16:25; pradosha is Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 19:00 Tue to 16:25.
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 19:00 on Tue 21 Oct to 16:25 on Wed 22 Oct, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (17:46–20:13). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
