Why is Diwali on Mon 12 Nov in Atliaca?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Mon 12 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:01–20:33. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:09 to 20:09.
Chaturdashi until 19:43, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 19:43 to 16:08 Tue.
Amavasya ended at 16:08; pradosha is Pratipada. Amavasya: 19:43 Mon to 16:08.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). 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 19:43 on Mon 12 Nov to 16:08 on Tue 13 Nov, so it touches only Monday’s pradosha (18:01–20:33). Every reading takes that day.
