Why is Diwali on Sat 2 Nov in Sevan?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Sat 2 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:55–20:38. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:31 to 20:19.
Chaturdashi until 18:43, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 18:43 to 16:49 Sun.
Amavasya ended at 16:49; pradosha is Pratipada. Amavasya: 18:43 Sat to 16:49.
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 18:43 on Sat 2 Nov to 16:49 on Sun 3 Nov, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (17:55–20:38). Every reading takes that day.
