Why is Diwali on Fri 24 Oct in Sevan?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Fri 24 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 19:07–21:46. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 20:08 to 21:46.
Chaturdashi until 21:13, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 21:13 to 17:50 Sat.

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 (19:07–21:46). Every reading takes that day.
