Why is Diwali on Tue 6 Nov in Diffa?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Tue 6 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:41–20:10. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:14 to 20:10.
Chaturdashi until 17:57, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 17:57 to 17:02 Wed.
Amavasya ended at 17:02; pradosha is Pratipada. Amavasya: 17:57 Tue to 17:02.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 17:57 on Tue 6 Nov to 17:02 on Wed 7 Nov, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (17:41–20:10). Every reading takes that day.
