Indian stock exchanges, NSE and BSE, remain operational on Diwali day, sparking debate about maintaining the festival's sanctity versus market convenience. A Muhurat trading session is held from 1:45-2:45 pm, followed by a 10-minute extension. Market participants view this as an auspicious start for wealth creation. The markets will, however, remain closed on October 21 and 22.
