The session, which lasts for an hour, is considered auspicious to make purchases and begin the traditional Hindu accounting year, called Samvat. It is believed that buying small quantities of shares on this occasion of Muharnat can bring the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, throughout the Samvat year. Historically, the market impetus is positive during the Mahurat Trading and is become a symbolic ritual for the Indian trading community for over half a century.
