Why this city matters
British Summer Time changes clock timings through the year. Dates and intervals here use London coordinates and the Europe/London time-zone history.
The civil date is selected where Ashwin Amavasya overlaps the local Pradosh period. The displayed interval is a review window, not an automatic final Lakshmi Puja Muhurat.
Tradition note: North Indian, South Indian, Gujarati, Sikh, Jain and temple calendars can emphasise different observances within the Diwali season.
A tithi is an astronomical interval, while sunrise and civil-date boundaries depend on location. This page uses the listed city rather than converting an Indian timetable.
Is the displayed time a compulsory puja time?+
No. It is a transparent local review interval for the festival rule. Family, temple and sampradaya requirements can produce a narrower or different decision.
Does this page confirm a local temple event?+
No. It gives a calculated observance guide. Always check the organiser or temple for its programme, access rules and final timings.
