Deepavali on Sunday: Lakshmi puja hours for Hyderabad, Amaravati, Visakhapatnam, Tirupati, Bengaluru and Chennai

The Deepavali Lakshmi puja falls in pradosha, the first part of the night, and that window does not open at the same minute everywhere. On Sunday, 8 November, Visakhapatnam reaches it at 5.23 pm, Hyderabad at 5.42 pm and Tirupati a minute after that.

Amavasya begins at about 11.28 am on Sunday and lasts until about 12.32 pm on Monday, so it holds through the whole of Sunday evening in both Telugu states. That is why the puja belongs to Sunday.

Pradosha hours, city by city

These are Telugu Scope’s own panchangam calculations. Pradosha here is one-fifth of the night, counted from sunset to the next sunrise in each city. Family and temple traditions can differ, so follow your own priest’s muhurtham if you have one.

Times for more cities and the full day’s panchangam are on our Panchangam page.
