Pradosh Kaal
The first fifth of the night, from local sunset. In India on 29 October it is about 5:39 to 8:13 PM in Delhi, but only the part before 7:05 PM is in Amavasya.
Diwali 2027 muhurat by cityLakshmi Puja on Friday 29 October in India, Thursday 28 October in the West
Amavasya ends early on Diwali evening in 2027, so the Lakshmi Puja window in India is short and varies a lot by city. Choose your city to see the exact muhurat, Pradosh Kaal, Vrishabha Kaal, choghadiya and the Dhanteras puja time.
Diwali 2027 muhurat in short
In short
Diwali 2027 is on Friday 29 October in India. Amavasya ends at 7:05 PM IST that evening, so the Lakshmi Puja muhurat is short: 6:35 PM – 7:05 PM in New Delhi. In Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad the Vrishabha lagna rises only as Amavasya ends, so the Pradosh Kaal window is used (6:07 PM – 7:05 PM in Mumbai). In the UK, Europe and North America, Amavasya covers the evening of Thursday 28 October: London 6:19 PM – 7:56 PM, New York 6:46 PM – 8:35 PM. Amavasya runs from 8:47 PM IST on 28 October to 7:05 PM IST on 29 October.
2027 muhurat planning note: Diwali 2027 is unusually sensitive to location because Amavasya ends during the Indian evening on 29 October, while it covers the evening of 28 October in Europe and North America. Use the city result for the actual Lakshmi Puja, Pradosh and Vrishabha overlap.

West and south are negative (Toronto is 43.65, −79.38). Time zone names follow the IANA list, such as Asia/Kolkata, Europe/London or America/Chicago.
Why the 2027 window is short
Lakshmi Puja is done where three things overlap: Pradosh Kaal (the first fifth of the night), the fixed Vrishabha lagna, and Amavasya. In 2027 Amavasya begins at 8:47 PM IST on 28 October, after that evening's Pradosh Kaal in India, and ends at 7:05 PM IST on 29 October, early in the next.
So in New Delhi only 6:35 PM – 7:05 PM qualifies. Further west and south the Vrishabha lagna rises later, as Amavasya is ending, and the overlap disappears: the page then shows the Pradosh Kaal window inside Amavasya instead, such as 6:07 PM – 7:05 PM in Mumbai.
Practical advice for India: set up the chowki in the afternoon, light the lamps at sunset and complete the main Lakshmi–Ganesh puja before 7:05 PM IST. Lamps, aarti and celebrations can continue afterwards.

What each window means
Vrishabha Kaal
The fixed Taurus lagna, believed to make Lakshmi stay. In 2027 it rises in Delhi at about 6:35 PM, half an hour before Amavasya ends.
Amavasya tithi
8:47 PM IST on 28 October to 7:05 PM IST on 29 October. The same instants worldwide put Lakshmi Puja on the 28th in the West.
Mahanishita Kaal
The midnight muhurta. In India Amavasya has ended by then on 29 October; in Europe and North America the night of the 28th is inside Amavasya.
Choghadiya
Shubh, Labh, Amrit and Chal periods inside Amavasya, for traders opening new account books. The finder lists them.
Dhanteras
Wednesday 27 October 2027. The finder shows the Dhanteras puja muhurat for your city too.
28 or 29 October?
Thursday 28 October
In the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada, Amavasya covers the evening of the 28th: London 6:19 PM – 7:56 PM, New York 6:46 PM – 8:35 PM.
Friday 29 October
India, the Gulf, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand keep the 29th, with the short evening window.
Families across both
Delhi's puja comes about 24 hours after London's. Agree which evening each household keeps.
Use local sunset, not IST
Converting the Delhi time to your time zone gives the wrong answer; use the finder for your own city.

- Pradosh KaalThe first fifth of the night; Mahanishita is the eighth of fifteen night muhurtas.
- Vrishabha lagnaThe rising sign from local sidereal time with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
- AmavasyaDrik Panchang's instants for 2027, converted to local time. The evening whose Pradosh Kaal overlaps Amavasya most is Lakshmi Puja.
- MuhuratPradosh, Vrishabha and Amavasya together; where that overlap is under ten minutes, the Pradosh window inside Amavasya is shown and labelled.

Diwali 2027 muhurat: questions people ask
When is Diwali in 2027?
Friday 29 October 2027 in India, the Gulf, Southeast Asia and Australia. In the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada, Lakshmi Puja is on the evening of Thursday 28 October, because Amavasya, which begins at 3:17 PM GMT on the 28th, covers that evening there.
What is the Lakshmi Puja muhurat in Delhi for Diwali 2027?
6:35 PM – 7:05 PM IST on Friday 29 October, the part of the Vrishabha lagna that falls before Amavasya ends at 7:05 PM. Pradosh Kaal is 5:39 PM – 8:13 PM.
Why is the Diwali 2027 muhurat so short in India?
Amavasya began at 8:47 PM IST on 28 October, too late for that evening's Pradosh Kaal, and ends at 7:05 PM IST on 29 October, early in that evening's Pradosh Kaal. Only the first part of the evening falls in Amavasya, so the window where Pradosh, Vrishabha lagna and Amavasya overlap is about half an hour in north India and almost nothing further west and south.
What should families in Mumbai, Pune or Bengaluru do?
There the Vrishabha lagna rises only as Amavasya ends, so the page shows the Pradosh Kaal window inside Amavasya: Mumbai 6:07 PM – 7:05 PM, Bengaluru 5:54 PM – 7:05 PM. Start the puja at sunset and complete the main worship before 7:05 PM.
What is the Lakshmi Puja muhurat in the USA and UK in 2027?
On Thursday 28 October: New York 6:46 PM – 8:35 PM, Chicago 6:38 PM – 8:25 PM, Los Angeles 6:58 PM – 8:41 PM, London 6:19 PM – 7:56 PM, local time. Drik Panchang gives 6:21 to 7:57 PM for Berlin on the same evening.
When is Mahanishita Kaal on Diwali 2027?
In India Amavasya ends before Mahanishita on 29 October, so the night puja falls outside Amavasya; families who keep Nishita puja or Kali Puja follow their own panchang. In Europe and North America, Mahanishita on the night of 28 October is inside Amavasya.
How accurate are these timings?
Amavasya begins and ends at Drik Panchang's published instants. For Berlin the calculator gives 6:20 to 7:56 PM against Drik's 6:21 to 7:57 PM, and New Delhi's 6:35 to 7:05 PM agrees with published Delhi figures (6:34 to 7:05 PM). Treat the first and last minute as approximate.
