Why is Diwali on Fri 4 Nov in Davinópolis?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Fri 4 Nov: 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 18:47 to 20:22.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 21:10. Amavasya: 21:10 to 19:21 Fri.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 19:21; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 21:10 Thu to 19:21.
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 21:10 on Thu 3 Nov to 19:21 on Fri 4 Nov, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (18:02–20:22). Every reading takes that day.
