Rules & sources
- Deity pujan in a fixed (sthir) lagna — Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius — makes Lakshmi stay. On Diwali evening Vrishabha (in Pradosh) is best, Simha (in Nishita) is special. [मुहूर्त चिंतामणि, अध्याय 2, पृ. 89]
- Pradosh Kaal = the post-sunset “mouth of the night” (~2h24m, 3 muhurtas). [मुहूर्त चिंतामणि, पृ. 143]
- Lamp-donation (deepdaan) in Kartik exceeds all other gifts. [बृहन्नारदीय पुराण, कार्तिक-माहात्म्य]
- Perform the pujan while Kartik Amavasya prevails. [परंपरा]
