Diwali / Lakshmi Puja uses a separate evening rule and can fall on a different date from sunrise-based Amavasya. Other seasonal names identify the Amavasya; they do not calculate separate ritual times.
Diwali / Lakshmi Puja: Thu 2027/10/28
Pradosha overlap (sunset + 144 minutes); later evening if both qualify. This is not a Lagna-based puja muhurta.

How are Amavasya dates calculated for Johannesburg?
Each date is the civil day whose sunrise in Johannesburg falls inside the Amavasya tithi (Moon–Sun elongation 348°→0°/360°), computed with Skyfield + JPL DE421 for -26.2023°, 28.0436° (Africa/Johannesburg). Kshaya dates (no sunrise in tithi) are attached to the preceding sunrise.
Which 2027 Amavasyas in Johannesburg are Somvati, Shani or Bhaumvati?
Named by the civil weekday in Johannesburg (Africa/Johannesburg): Bhaumvati (2): Tue 2027/04/06, Tue 2027/08/31; Shani (2): Sat 2027/02/06, Sat 2027/07/03; Somvati (3): Mon 2027/03/08, Mon 2027/08/02, Mon 2027/12/27.
Do Amavasya dates in Johannesburg differ from pan-India lists?
They can. Because the ruling sunrise depends on longitude, latitude and timezone (Africa/Johannesburg), a tithi ending just before local sunrise in Johannesburg may still span sunrise in Delhi — shifting the civil date by a day. This page lists the hyper-local dates for Johannesburg, not a generic India table.
