Why is Diwali on Sat 29 Oct in Orting?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Sat 29 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 16:57–19:43. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 17:34 to 19:15.
Chaturdashi until 17:27, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 17:27 to 15:38 Sun.
Amavasya ended at 15:38; pradosha is Pratipada. Amavasya: 17:27 Sat to 15:38.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−8). 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 17:27 on Sat 29 Oct to 15:38 on Sun 30 Oct, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (16:57–19:43). Every reading takes that day.
