Why is Diwali on Sat 18 Oct in Pāthardi?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Sat 18 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat: pradosha, 18:03–20:32. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 19:39 to 20:32.
Chaturdashi until 19:42, inside pradosha; then Amavasya. Amavasya: 19:42 to 17:20 Sun.

Lakshmi Puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Amavasya runs from 19:42 on Sat 18 Oct to 17:20 on Sun 19 Oct, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (18:03–20:32). Every reading takes that day.
