Why is Diwali on Sun 3 Nov in Olean?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Sun 3 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:05–19:50. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 17:36 to 19:23.
Chaturdashi until 19:13, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 19:13 to 15:34 Mon.
Amavasya ended at 15:34; pradosha is Pratipada. Amavasya: 19:13 Sun to 15:34.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). 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 19:13 on Sun 3 Nov to 15:34 on Mon 4 Nov, so it touches only Sunday’s pradosha (17:05–19:50). Every reading takes that day.
