Why is Diwali on Fri 24 Oct in Saatlı?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Fri 24 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:55–21:33. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:56 to 21:33.
Chaturdashi until 21:13, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 21:13 to 17:50 Sat.
Amavasya ended at 17:50; pradosha is Pratipada. Amavasya: 21:13 Fri to 17:50.
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 21:13 on Fri 24 Oct to 17:50 on Sat 25 Oct, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (18:55–21:33). Every reading takes that day.
