Why is Diwali on Tue 13 Nov in Ipameri?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Tue 13 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 19:25–21:37. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:30 to 21:37.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 23:43. Amavasya: 23:43 to 20:08 Tue.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 20:08; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 23:43 Mon to 20:08.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−2). 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 23:43 on Mon 12 Nov to 20:08 on Tue 13 Nov, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (19:25–21:37). Every reading takes that day.
