Why is Diwali on Mon 20 Oct in Pāthardi?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Mon 20 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 19:03–21:31. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 20:30 to 21:31.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 00:12 Mon.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 20:49; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 00:12 to 20:49.
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 00:12 on Mon 20 Oct to 20:49 on Mon 20 Oct, so it touches only Monday’s pradosha (19:03–21:31). Every reading takes that day.
