Why is Diwali on Wed 3 Nov in Mitchell?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Wed 3 Nov: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:19–21:06. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 18:49 to 20:35.
Chaturdashi until 19:33, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 19:33 to 16:14 Thu.
Amavasya ended at 16:14; pradosha is Pratipada. Amavasya: 19:33 Wed to 16:14.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). 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 19:33 on Wed 3 Nov to 16:14 on Thu 4 Nov, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:19–21:06). Every reading takes that day.
