Why is Diwali on Tue 25 Oct in Olean?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Tue 25 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:17–20:57. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:12 to 20:57.
Chaturdashi until 19:46, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 19:46 to 15:55 Wed.
Amavasya ended at 15:55; pradosha is Pratipada.
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 19:46 on Tue 25 Oct to 15:55 on Wed 26 Oct, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (18:17–20:57). Every reading takes that day.
