Why is Diwali on Fri 12 Nov in Myshkin?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Fri 12 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 16:14–19:25. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 16:14 to 17:38.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 20:00. Amavasya: 20:00 to 17:27 Fri.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 17:27; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 20:00 Thu to 17:27.
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 20:00 on Thu 11 Nov to 17:27 on Fri 12 Nov, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (16:14–19:25). Every reading takes that day.
