Why is Diwali on Thu 28 Oct in Västervik?
Diwali · Lakshmi Puja is on Thu 28 Oct: Amavasya touches pradosha that evening, and no other.

Lakshmi Puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Amavasya runs from 17:18 on Thu 28 Oct to 15:36 on Fri 29 Oct, so it touches only Thursday’s pradosha (17:16–20:13). Every reading takes that day.
