Why is Diwali on Fri 24 Oct in Chahārbāgh?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Fri 24 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:20–19:57. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:25 to 19:57.
Chaturdashi until 19:43, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 19:43 to 16:20 Sat.
Amavasya ended at 16:20; pradosha is Pratipada. Amavasya: 19:43 Fri to 16:20.
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 19:43 on Fri 24 Oct to 16:20 on Sat 25 Oct, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (17:20–19:57). Every reading takes that day.
