The exchanges fix Muhurat Trading by circular: the day in the trading-holiday list published the December before, the hour in a separate circular closer to Diwali. This page prints a session time only from such a circular, and names it; it does not estimate one. Sessions have not always been in the evening: in 2025 the normal market ran 13:45 to 14:45 (NSE/FAOP/70320).

What it is
What Muhurat Trading is
Muhurat Trading is a short special session NSE and BSE hold on Diwali's Lakshmi Puja day, when many trading families open new account books for the Samvat year. The exchanges are otherwise closed for Diwali; the session is a real one, and trades in it settle like any other.
- The custom comes from the account-book puja (chopda pujan) that Gujarati and Marwari traders perform at Diwali, and that Labh Panchami completes a few days later.
- The 2026 session falls on a Sunday: a weekend Lakshmi Puja does not move it, and the exchanges open for it.
- The muhurat windows above are the panchang's for that evening; the exchanges do not choose the session hour by them.
