Lakshmi Puja lagna at your city

Pradosh and the fixed lagna inside it, for the place where you will do the puja, on Lakshmi Puja night, Sunday 8 November 2026.

Why a fixed lagna

Lakshmi Puja is done in Pradosh, the 2 hours 24 minutes after sunset. Inside Pradosh, many families wait for a sthir (fixed) lagna, a sign whose quality is steadiness, so that the puja's blessing stays. The four fixed signs are Vrishabha (Taurus), Simha (Leo), Vrishchika (Scorpio) and Kumbha (Aquarius); on Diwali evening it is usually Vrishabha that rises inside Pradosh.

The lagna is the sign rising on the eastern horizon where you are, so it changes with your city. Practice varies by family and region; your family's or your pandit's timing comes first.

How it is computed

Sunset and Pradosh come from our panchang for your city, at the offset in force on the night; the rising sign comes from the sidereal zodiac (Lahiri ayanamsa), timed to the second. A panchang that uses another ayanamsa or rounds differently can differ by a few minutes.

This is the lagna over your city that night, which is the one a muhurat uses — not the lagna in your birth chart.
