Why is Diwali on Tue 17 Oct in Orting?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Tue 17 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:16–20:55. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:21 to 20:55.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Amavasya begins at 23:35.
Amavasya holds pradosha only until 19:56; then Pratipada. Amavasya: 23:35 Mon to 19:56.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). 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 23:35 on Mon 16 Oct to 19:56 on Tue 17 Oct, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (18:16–20:55). Every reading takes that day.
