What is Muhurat Trading? Why Is It Organised?
Muhurat trading is a special trading session conducted by both main bourses on Dalal Street on the auspicious day of Diwali, which marks the New Year as per the Vikram Samvat calendar—also known as the Vikrami calendar.
This day typically falls between mid-October and mid-November every year.
The special Muhurat trading session has its roots in Hindu tradition and culture, where Diwali is considered an auspicious occasion to make new beginnings and seek blessings for prosperity.
Usually, the Muhurat trading session lasts for about an hour. The session is characterised by the symbolic buying and selling of securities.
Multitudes of market participants view Muhurat trading as an auspicious opportunity to make token investments, seeking good fortune for their portfolios in the year ahead.
While Muhurat trading has little impact on the overall market trends, it holds sentimental value and is seen as a positive omen for the year ahead.
