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.

Pradosha overlap (sunset + 144 minutes); later evening if both qualify. This is not a Lagna-based puja muhurta.

How are Amavasya dates calculated for Pretoria?
Each date is the civil day whose sunrise in Pretoria falls inside the Amavasya tithi (Moon–Sun elongation 348°→0°/360°), computed with Skyfield + JPL DE421 for -25.7449°, 28.1878° (Africa/Johannesburg). Kshaya dates (no sunrise in tithi) are attached to the preceding sunrise.
Which 2028 Amavasyas in Pretoria are Somvati, Shani or Bhaumvati?
Named by the civil weekday in Pretoria (Africa/Johannesburg): Bhaumvati (1): Tue 2028/10/17; Shani (1): Sat 2028/03/25; Somvati (2): Mon 2028/04/24, Mon 2028/09/18.
Do Amavasya dates in Pretoria 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 Pretoria may still span sunrise in Delhi — shifting the civil date by a day. This page lists the hyper-local dates for Pretoria, not a generic India table.
