Why is Diwali on Tue 12 Nov in Chahārbāgh?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Tue 12 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:01–19:45. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 17:08 to 19:00.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 21:34. Amavasya: 21:34 to 17:50 Tue.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 17:50; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 21:34 Mon to 17:50.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). 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 21:34 on Mon 11 Nov to 17:50 on Tue 12 Nov, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (17:01–19:45). Every reading takes that day.
