Trayodashi prevailing in Pradosh Kaal (sunset to one-fifth of the night); if on two evenings, the one with the longer overlap.
The importance of the Pradosh Kaal: Shiva recovered in the Pradosh of Trayodashi after drinking the poison of the churning of the ocean/the gods praised Shiva in this period (Skanda Purana); the day on which the Trayodashi is present in Pradosh is the vrat day — if Trayodashi begins in the evening, that day; if it runs from morning but ends before sunset, the previous day; the dates above follow the Pradosh rule.
By weekday: Ravi Pradosh — long life and health; Soma — fulfilment of wishes, peace of mind; Bhauma — freedom from debt and disease, Mangal dosha; Budha — learning and intellect; Guru — destruction of enemies, the ancestors' grace; Shukra — good fortune and wealth; Shani Pradosh — the blessing of children, pacifying Saturn's sade sati (the most famous — the Saturday Pradosh).
23 in Canada (Toronto). Lunar months do not align with the calendar year, so the count can be 22 or 24.
9 of the 23 dates differ from India for Toronto, because the tithi is judged at the local moment (sunrise/moonrise/Pradosh) and Canada is hours away from India in time.
6 ghatis (2 hours 24 minutes) from sunset — the junction of day and night; Shiva's dance of joy in it (Skanda Purana); some texts take 3 ghatis before and after sunset (6 in all) — in practice the 1-2 hours after sunset are best; the time is given above.
The fruit by weekday: Soma (Monday) — wishes and pacifying the Moon; Bhauma (Tuesday) — freedom from debt and disease, Mangal dosha; Shani (Saturday) — children, pacifying Saturn's sade sati; Ravi — long life; Budha — learning; Guru — destruction of enemies; Shukra — wealth and fortune; the vidhi is the same, the charity by weekday; every date in the list above carries its weekday name.
The day on which the Trayodashi tithi is present in the Pradosh Kaal (after sunset) — Pradosh-vyapini; if on both days, the first; if on neither (Trayodashi ends in the afternoon), the day with more of it — the list above is built by this rule.
