It’s that time of the year again! India’s most celebrated festival is just days away and happiness and excitement are in the air. Diwali signifies different things to different sects of people in India. For the Hindus, Diwali signifies the homecoming of Lord Rama after a 14-year exile in the forest – during which he defeated the demon Ravana to bring back his wife, Sita, from captivity. The Hindus of eastern India associate the festival with the goddess Kali. For the Sikhs, it signifies the release of their 6th Guru from prison. And many, especially the Western states of Gujarat and Maharashtra, associate the festival with Goddess Lakshmi – the goddess of wealth and prosperity. 

Such is the expanse of our country and such is the diversity of our ideologies. Even though the festival might mean different things to different religions and regions, it strives to convey a common message. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil, the power of light over darkness, and finally the triumph of knowledge over ignorance. Diwali also marks the beginning of the new year according to the Hindu calendar. All this really cements how special the festival is to India and Indians around the world. And it’s no different for India’s investor community. 

Diwali is big for the investor community in India. So much so that on Diwali, which is otherwise a holiday, the stock exchanges fire up their terminals for about 1 hour during which investors and traders participate in what is called Muhurat Trading. Buying small quantities of stocks on that day is considered auspicious and is believed to bring in the blessing of Lakshmi – the goddess of wealth. Moreover, many people believe that stocks bought on that day are supposed to be for keeps and these stocks are often passed through generations.
