What is Muhurat Trading - Know here

According to the Hindu calendar, the festival of Diwali is the first day of the new year. For the auspicious beginning of this day and auspicious signs of good prosperity and business success, a special one-hour trading is done and this is called Muhurat trading. This time investors can do online trading from their homes along with auspicious Lakshmi Puja during the beginning of Samvat 2081.

This time there is confusion in the timeline of Diwali festival

However, this year there is confusion about the main festival of Diwali i.e. Lakshmi Pujan. Many Pandits and Shastri Ji have decided that the auspicious time for Diwali festival is 31st October and some religious scholars have said to do Diwali Puja on 1st November. Anyway, at least the stock exchange has tried to clear the confusion of traders by making an announcement on its part, so if you also like to trade in Muhurat trading, then prepare that Muhurat trading is on 1st November.
