The Pradosh Kaal, considered the most propitious time for Lakshmi-Ganesha worship during Diwali celebrations, will commence at 5:31 PM and conclude at 8:09 PM in the national capital on Thursday. This narrow timeframe is traditionally regarded as the most auspicious period for performing the festival's principal religious ceremonies across Hindu households.
The specific timing of this sacred window is determined by astronomical calculations related to the sunset and twilight hours. Devotees are advised to complete their Lakshmi Puja rituals within this prescribed period to maximize the spiritual significance of their worship.
The exact duration of Pradosh Kaal may vary across major Indian cities due to geographical differences in latitude and longitude. Residents of other metropolitan areas should check local almanac calculations to determine the precise timing applicable to their respective regions. Religious scholars recommend consulting regional pandits or verified astrological sources for location-specific timings to ensure adherence to traditional practices.
