Why is Diwali on Wed 30 Oct in Davinópolis?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Wed 30 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:02–20:22. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:03 to 20:22.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 22:40. Amavasya: 22:40 to 19:02 Wed.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 19:02; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 22:40 Tue to 19:02.
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 22:40 on Tue 29 Oct to 19:02 on Wed 30 Oct, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:02–20:22). Every reading takes that day.
