Timezone
Leicester has one of the densest Hindu populations in Britain. The Golden Mile Diwali lights follow the city's sunset, and Belgrave's temples publish a Midlands panchang. An IST 'Diwali muhurat 5:55–7:40pm' forwarded from Delhi is the wrong evening window for Belgrave Road.
UK DST. Leicester's Diwali on the Golden Mile is a local-sunset event — in late October that is GMT, not BST.
