Shops reopen after Diwali break
The Free Press Journal|November 07, 2024
The auspicious festival of Labh Pancham is being celebrated on November 6.

Observed on the fifth day of the Kartak month in the Hindu Gujarati Vikram Samvat calendar (currently 2081), Labh Pancham holds great significance in Gujarat. Traditionally, shopkeepers mark this day by reopening their businesses, signaling the end of Diwali festivities and the start of a new business year.

In Gujarat, Labh Pancham is both a cultural tradition and an important business event. Markets and shops reopen at a shubh muhurat, an auspicious time that signifies the prosperity expected from new business activities. Today, business owners and employees participate in rituals, making this festival an opportunity to seek blessings for the year ahead.
