Why is Diwali on Fri 24 Oct in Khmelnytskyi?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Fri 24 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:05–20:49. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:54 to 20:33.
Chaturdashi until 19:13, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 19:13 to 15:50 Sat.
Amavasya ended at 15:50; pradosha is Pratipada.
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 19:13 on Fri 24 Oct to 15:50 on Sat 25 Oct, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (18:05–20:49). Every reading takes that day.
