How these timings are worked out

Lakshmi Puja is done in Pradosh Kaal, the time just after sunset, ideally while the fixed (sthir) Vrishabha lagna is rising and the Amavasya tithi is running. The muhurat above is where all three overlap for your city. Dhanteras puja uses the same rule on Trayodashi. Because sunset and the rising sign change with location, every city has its own window.

TaraLok works these out with its own astronomical calculations (Lahiri ayanamsa), the same method most Panchangs use. Times can differ from other Panchangs by about a minute. Family traditions differ, so follow your family priest if they suggest another time. Astrology is for guidance and reflection.
