Why is Diwali on Wed 29 Oct in Pāthardi?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Wed 29 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:57–20:27. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:54 to 20:27.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 23:16.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 19:58; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 23:16 Tue to 19:58.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 23:16 on Tue 28 Oct to 19:58 on Wed 29 Oct, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (17:57–20:27). Every reading takes that day.
