Hindu Panchangam for the World: When is Diwali?

स्वागतम्

तत्त्द् गतिवशन्नित्यं यथा दृक्-तुल्यतां ग्रहाः।
प्रयान्ति तत्प्रवक्ष्यामि स्फ़ुटिकरणमादरात्॥
सुर्य सिद्धान्त ॥

यस्मिन् पक्षे यत्र काले येन दृग्गणितैक्यम्।
दृश्यते तेन पक्षेण कुर्यात्तिथ्यादिनिर्णयम्॥
वशिष्ठ॥

यात्राविवाहोत्सवजातकादौ खेटैः स्फुटैरेवफलस्फुटत्वम्।
स्यात्प्रोच्यते तेन नभश्चराणां स्फुटक्रिया दृग्गणितैक्यकृद्या॥
भास्कराचार्य॥

तिथिर्विष्णुस्तथा वारो नक्षत्रं विष्णुरेव च।
योगश्च करणं चैव सर्वं विष्णु मयं जगत्॥

Lakshmi puja is done twice on diwali day, one after sunset (pradosha kala), best when available with sthira lagna. Another is midnight time on diwali day (Nishitha kala). Best when combined with sthira lagna (Maha nishitha kala). This maha nishitha kala may not be available in all cities in that case do 1st one during pradosha kala, and 2nd during nishitha kala. Chogadia times are only used for travel, not for other things like diwali etc. Neither Chogadia or Hora is useful for diwali muhurtha.
