Diwali November 8 Lakshmi Puja Pradosh Kaal Delhi Mumbai timings
Diwali lands on November 8 this year, and Lakshmi Puja is the main ritual everyone looks forward to. It's all about inviting good vibes and prosperity from Goddess Lakshmi.
The puja happens during Pradosh Kaal (that's after sunset), but the exact timing depends on where you are: for example, in Delhi, it's 5:54pm to 7:50pm while Mumbai gets a window from 6:27pm to 8:27pm.
Lakshmi Puja timings for major cities
Here are the key slots for other major cities: Kolkata (5:20pm to 7:18 p.m.), Bengaluru (6:17pm to 8:20 p.m.), Chennai (6:07pm to 8:09 p.m.), Hyderabad (6:07pm to 8:08 p.m.), and Ahmedabad (6:22pm to 8:20 p.m.).
These timings help families sync up with tradition, coming together to light diyas, decorate with rangoli, and celebrate new beginnings because Diwali is as much about hope as it is about rituals.
