The best time for Lakshmi Puja is during Pradosh Kaal when Sthir Lagna prevails. Sthir means fixed i.e. not moveable. If Lakshmi Puja is done during Sthir Lagna, Lakshmiji will stay in your home; hence this time is the best for Lakshmi Pujan. Vrishabha Lagna is considered as Sthir and mostly overlaps with Pradosh Kaal during Diwali festivity. Let us have a look at the stationary ascendants and the auspicious timing for the Diwali this year.

Here-in-below is the exact window for Shubh Lakshmi Puja timings for the specific location (and nearby towns). The Muhurat times contain Pradosh Kaal and Sthir Lagna while Amavasya is prevailing.

Amavasya Tithi begins at:
02:35  hrs on  23rd October 2014 (Thursday)

Amavasya Tithi ends at:
03:26 hrs on   24th October 2014 (Friday)

Note:

Amavasya begins on 23rd October 2014 in the early hours (before Sunrise) and remains almost for the whole Day and night of 23rd October 2014.

Therefore, Deepawali Puja should be performed on 23rd October 2014 only.

Pradosh Kaal:

Lakshmi Puja should be done during Pradosh Kaal which starts after sunset and approximately lasts for 2 hours and 24 minutes. According to "Dharmsindhu", Pradosha is basically 6 ghatikas after sunset ( where each ghatika is 24 minutes, 24 * 6 = 144 minutes).

Sunset on 23rd October 2014:

 at 17:38 hrs

Therefore, Pradosh Kaal:

From   17:38   to  20:02 hrs

All preparations of temple related to Puja, Rangoli, Deepdan etc should be done during Pradosh Kal. Additionally, it is considered auspicious to complete the work of sweets distribution during this time.

Also, the work of drawing of Swastika and writing Shub Labh on the doors should be done in this Muhurat time. Besides this, giving gift to the elders of the family and taking their blessings increases the auspiciousness in a person’s life. Giving donations etc. at religious places during this period is considered favorable.

Sthir Lagna (Fixed Ascendants):

Kumbha (Aquarius):

From:   14:28 hrs   to  15:55 hrs

Vrasha (Taurus):

From:   18:56 hrs   to  20:50 hrs

Simha (Leo):

From:  01:26 hrs to  03:42 hrs  (during night between 23rd/24th October 2014)
Chaughadia Muhurta and Rahu Kaal:

Though it is not very necessary to consider Chaughadiya Muhurat to perform Lakshmi Puja - as Chaughadiyas are normally considered for traveling. However, if possible try to consider Chaughadia also.

Conclusion:
The best time for Lakshmi Puja is during Pradosh Kaal when "Sthir Lagna" (Fixed ascendant) prevails. If good Chaughadia is also running, it becomes even more good.
During the day (for Puja in Office / Shop)

During this time duration, Kumbh Lagna (a fixed ascendant); and "Amrit" chaughadia will be available. However, during this period, "Rahu-Kaal" will also be operational. But there is no alternate option available.

From 14:28 hrs to 14:50 hrs
During the night (for Puja at home)

During this time window, Pradosh kaal; Vrasha Lagna (a fixed ascendant); and "Amrit" chaughadia will be available. All three major muhurta requirements will be fulfilled. This is the "BEST MUHURTA".

From 18:56 hrs to 19:14 hrs
 

From 19:14 hrs to 20:02 hrs

During this time window - Pradosh kaal; Vrasha Lagna (a fixed ascendant); and "Chara" chaughadia, will be available. This is the "SECOND BEST MUHURTA". "Chara Chaughadia" is considered medium.

From 20:02 hrs to 20:50 hrs

During this time window - Vrasha Lagna (a fixed ascendant); and "Chara" chaughadia will be available. This is the "THIRD BEST MUHURTA". Pradosh kaal would not be available.
Note: We can also use "Venus-Hora" as an additional muhurta parameter. Venus is Laxmi. Therefore, if in a time duration, good Chaugharia, Fixed ascendant and Venus-Hora coincides, it will be the best Muhurta.
 
I wish you a very happy and prosperous Deepawali. May Goddess Lakshmi shower all her blessings on you in coming year.
