Why is Diwali on Wed 19 Oct in Pāthardi?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Wed 19 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:03–20:31. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:33 to 20:31.
Chaturdashi until 18:40, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 18:40 to 17:32 Thu.
Amavasya ended at 17:32; pradosha is Pratipada. Amavasya: 18:40 Wed to 17:32.
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 18:40 on Wed 19 Oct to 17:32 on Thu 20 Oct, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:03–20:31). Every reading takes that day.
