Pradosh Kaal
From sunset for three night muhurtas, a fifth of the night, from each city's own sunset and next sunrise.
Mahanishita and Simha lagna
Nishita is the eighth of the night's fifteen muhurtas; Simha is the fixed lagna rising around midnight, kept by households that do the night puja.
Computation
Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa, sunrise and sunset as the Sun's upper edge on the horizon with refraction, for each city's own latitude, longitude and time zone.
Why another calendar may print a different time
Some calendars print the Simha lagna two or three minutes later: their lagna tables carry a single sidereal time through the night, and drift by the small hours. The times here follow the rising sign itself.
The full method: how Swarn Siddhi computes timings.

Lakshmi Puja muhurat 2026 by city: questions
What is the Lakshmi Puja muhurat on Diwali 2026?
On Sunday, 8 November 2026, 5:54 PM to 7:50 PM in New Delhi. Every other city's window is in the table above, each from its own sunset and lagna.
Why is the muhurat different in my city?
Pradosh Kaal begins at sunset, and when Vrishabha rises depends on a city's longitude and latitude. This year the start moves by 92 minutes across the Indian cities: first in Guwahati, last in Jamnagar.
Is Pradosh Kaal the same as the Lakshmi Puja muhurat?
No. In New Delhi Pradosh Kaal is 5:31 PM to 8:08 PM; the muhurat is the part of it in which the fixed Vrishabha lagna rises while Amavasya runs.
Can I do Lakshmi Puja after the muhurat?
Households that cannot keep the Vrishabha window usually keep Pradosh Kaal as a whole; those who do the night puja keep Mahanishita (11:38 PM to 12:31 AM (9 Nov) in New Delhi). Your family's own tradition comes first.
Can I use this table on my website?
Yes: quote it with a link to this page. Every city's times can also be downloaded as a CSV.
