Why is Diwali on Wed 3 Nov in Mapleton?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Wed 3 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:21–21:04. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:52 to 20:41.
Chaturdashi until 18:33, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 18:33 to 15:14 Thu.
Amavasya ended at 15:14; pradosha is Pratipada.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). 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 18:33 on Wed 3 Nov to 15:14 on Thu 4 Nov, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:21–21:04). Every reading takes that day.
