Windows are computed for this city — the tithi decides which are valid, so they shift with your location and are not the Indian times. Abhijit and Rahu Kaal belong to the day itself rather than to the festival.
Dhanteras opens the five days of Diwali on the thirteenth of the waning moon in Kartik, honouring Dhanvantari, physician of the gods, and Lakshmi. It is dated by the evening Pradosh window rather than by sunrise.
Metal — gold, silver, or at minimum a steel vessel — is bought on this day for luck. Lamps are lit at the threshold and kept burning through the night.
