Diwali 2026 will fall on November 4, marking the start of the festival of lights. This year, the Amavasya Tithi begins at 5:42 PM on November 3 and ends at 5:23 PM on November 4. The most auspicious Lakshmi Puja Muhurat is scheduled for 5:31 PM on November 4. Investors should check the specific timings for their city, as these can vary slightly based on local calculations.
For stock-market participants, this period is traditionally viewed as a time for new beginnings and wealth creation. While the puja itself is a cultural ritual, the timing often influences trading sentiment and portfolio decisions. Investors may use this occasion to review their financial goals or rebalance their portfolios for the upcoming year.
Market activity may see a dip during the puja hours as traders observe the rituals. However, the broader market often remains open, and volumes can be lower than usual. Investors should stay informed about local timings and market schedules to plan their trading activities effectively during this festive season.
