Why is Diwali on Wed 17 Oct in Davinópolis?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Wed 17 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:28–20:49. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 20:21 to 20:49.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 23:01.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 20:08; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 23:01 Tue to 20:08.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Pradosha. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Lakshmi Puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Amavasya runs from 23:01 on Tue 16 Oct to 20:08 on Wed 17 Oct, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:28–20:49). Every reading takes that day.
