Why is Diwali on Fri 12 Nov in Sevan?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Fri 12 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:45–20:32. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 17:50 to 19:38.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 21:00. Amavasya: 21:00 to 18:27 Fri.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 18:27; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 21:00 Thu to 18:27.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 21:00 on Thu 11 Nov to 18:27 on Fri 12 Nov, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (17:45–20:32). Every reading takes that day.
