Why is Dhanteras on Tue 10 Nov in Diffa?
Dhanteras is on Tue 10 Nov: Trayodashi touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:40–20:09. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:01 to 20:04.
Pradosha is Dwadashi; Trayodashi begins at 22:13. Trayodashi: 22:13 to 19:00 Tue.
Trayodashi holds pradosha only until 19:00; then Chaturdashi. Trayodashi: 22:13 Mon to 19:00.
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 22:13 on Mon 9 Nov to 19:00 on Tue 10 Nov, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (17:40–20:09). No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
