Puja muhurat in Patna
In Patna, the Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) 2026 puja window runs 5:04 PM to 6:16 PM on 8 November 2026, a Sunday. That is 27 minutes earlier than New Delhi, because the sun rises earlier in Patna and the window is cut from the local sunrise.
How this timing is worked out
Sunrise in Patna that day is 6:01 AM and sunset is 5:04 PM. The muhurat window is cut from that daylight span, which is why it differs from one city to the next. The rule: Amavasya tithi of the Krishna paksha in purnimanta Kartika, prevailing at pradosh (dusk).
What Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) is
The festival of lights. Lakshmi Puja is kept when Amavasya prevails at pradosh - which is why Diwali often falls on a day whose SUNRISE tithi is still Chaturdashi. Reading the sunrise tithi alone puts the date a day late.
