Why is Diwali on Wed 7 Nov in Sevan?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Wed 7 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:50–20:35. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:12 to 20:00.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 20:57. Amavasya: 20:57 to 20:02 Wed.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 20:02; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 20:57 Tue to 20:02.
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 20:57 on Tue 6 Nov to 20:02 on Wed 7 Nov, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (17:50–20:35). Every reading takes that day.
