History of Muhurat Trading:
Muhurat Trading has a traditional origin, marked by stockbrokers initiating their new year on Diwali, opening settlement accounts during the auspicious Muhurat. This practice was accompanied by the broking community's Chopda Pujan, a ritual of worshiping their books of accounts on Diwali.

Historical beliefs included Marwari traders selling stocks during Muhurat, aligning with the idea that money should not enter the house on Diwali, while Gujarati traders bought shares. Although such practices have evolved, Muhurat trading remains a symbolic and auspicious gesture in contemporary times. Today, investors often perform Lakshmi Pujan and engage in share purchases, focusing on strong companies with the potential for long-term returns.
