Panchang for Sunday, 8 Nov 2026
What muhurat trading is
Muhurat trading is a ceremonial session the exchanges open on Diwali evening, inside the Lakshmi Puja muhurat. It lasts about an hour.
Orders placed in it are token ones by tradition. The point is to open the account books of the new Samvat under a favourable sky, not to trade in size.
The timing is set by exchange circular a few weeks before Diwali. Until it lands, this page and the app say awaited rather than guess.
Questions
When is muhurat trading in 2026?

Which Samvat begins?
Vikram Samvat 2083 by the market reckoning, which turns the year on Kartika Shukla Pratipada, the day after Diwali.
Does Pushya say what to trade in the session?
No. Pushya gives the timing: the muhurat, the session once announced, and for subscribers the strongest window inside it by their chart. It never names an instrument.
