Why is Diwali on Wed 7 Nov in Myshkin?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Wed 7 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 16:25–19:31. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 16:35 to 18:00.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 19:57. Amavasya: 19:57 to 19:02 Wed.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 19:02; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 19:57 Tue to 19:02.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). 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 19:57 on Tue 6 Nov to 19:02 on Wed 7 Nov, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (16:25–19:31). Every reading takes that day.
