Dhanteras dates

Computed year by year from the Moon and the Sun. Each row shows the tithi the festival sits on and the lunar month in both the amanta and purnimanta reckonings, because the two name the same month differently during krishna paksha.

Also called: Dhantrayodashi, Dhanvantari Trayodashi

The rule

What the date is derived from, stated so you can check it.

Krishna Trayodashi of amanta Ashwina, Kartika Krishna Trayodashi in the north. A pradosh observance, so the evening decides it.

The day is settled by the tithi at pradosh, just after sunset.
