Why is Diwali on Fri 12 Nov in Pāthardi?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Fri 12 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:51–20:24. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:00 to 20:00.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 22:30. Amavasya: 22:30 to 19:57 Fri.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 19:57; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 22:30 Thu to 19:57.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 22:30 on Thu 11 Nov to 19:57 on Fri 12 Nov, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (17:51–20:24). Every reading takes that day.
