Why is Diwali on Sun 30 Oct in Olean?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Sun 30 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:10–19:53. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 17:49 to 19:35.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 20:27. Amavasya: 20:27 to 18:38 Sun.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 18:38; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 20:27 Sat to 18:38.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). 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 20:27 on Sat 29 Oct to 18:38 on Sun 30 Oct, so it touches only Sunday’s pradosha (17:10–19:53). Every reading takes that day.
