On the other hand, deepawali is observed in tamil Nadu and karnataka to commemorate the day that Lord krishna and Goddess satyabhama slew the monster Narakasura. According to Drik Panchang, "Churdashi Tithi is the main day during Deepavali in tamil Nadu and karnataka, and unlike the rest of india, earthen lamps and crackers are lit during dawn and not after dusk."
Drik Panchang claims that Thursday, october 31st, is Diwali. The hours of lakshmi Puja on october 31 are:
Lakshmi Puja Muhurat, october 31, from 6:52 to 8:41 p.m.
From 6:10 until 8:52 p.m., Pradosh Kaal
