Why is Diwali on Thu 3 Nov in Pāthardi?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Thu 3 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:54–20:26. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:37 to 20:26.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 22:43. Amavasya: 22:43 to 19:05 Thu.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 19:05; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 22:43 Wed to 19:05.
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 22:43 on Wed 2 Nov to 19:05 on Thu 3 Nov, so it touches only Thursday’s pradosha (17:54–20:26). Every reading takes that day.
