As India lights up in celebration of Diwali, the festival of prosperity and new beginnings, the stock markets too mark this auspicious occasion with a unique tradition – Muhurat Trading.
This special one-hour trading session is held every year on Laxmi Pujan day, symbolizing wealth, good fortune, and new opportunities for investors. Muhurat Trading is considered highly auspicious for making fresh investments and setting positive intentions for the financial year ahead.
