The sky over Winnipeg on Diwali night
Diwali is the Amavasya of Kartika, the new moon, so there is no Moon in the sky over Winnipeg all night: it set with the Sun at 4:54 PM. The Lakshmi Puja muhurat is the part of Pradosh Kaal when Vrishabha, the sign of Taurus, is rising in the east. In the real sky, at 5:58 PM the Pleiades (Krittika) are 9° up in the east-northeast and Aldebaran (Rohini), the orange eye of the bull, is just reaching the horizon in the east-northeast. If your view to the east is open and the lamps allow, you can see the stars that set the muhurat.
Pradosh Kaal starts at your own sunset, which is why the times in Winnipeg are different from India's. This year Vrishabha rises entirely inside Pradosh Kaal in Winnipeg, so the whole of Vrishabha Kaal is the muhurat. Why Diwali falls on the new moon, and the five days of Diwali.
