Muhurat trading is a special session of trading conducted every year by Indian stock exchanges on Diwali day. The Indian stock exchanges, such as the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE), conduct this special trading session. This special one-hour trading window marks the start of the Hindu financial year and is considered an auspicious time for investments. Originating from cultural beliefs, the session is considered an an invitation to welcome prosperity and wealth into the year that is ahead of us, along with Diwali's spirit of light and abundance of darkness.
