Thu Oct 31 14:58:38 UTC 2024: ## Diwali Shopping Guide: Auspicious Muhurat for Prosperity
**New Delhi, India:** Diwali, the festival of lights, falls on Thursday, October 31st this year. As the festival approaches, markets are expected to be flooded with shoppers looking for the perfect Diwali gifts and decorations. While shopping can be done at any time, certain days are considered particularly auspicious for Diwali purchases, promising prosperity and good fortune.
Astrologer Radha Kant Vats advises that Friday, October 25th, marks a highly auspicious day for shopping. This day witnesses the formation of the Shukra Pushya Yoga, a combination of the Pushya Nakshatra (star) and the planet Venus (Shukra).
The Pushya Nakshatra, known for its association with Goddess Lakshmi, brings wealth, prosperity, and abundance. It is believed that worshipping Goddess Lakshmi during this time will lead to financial gains. This year, the Pushya Nakshatra began on October 24th and lasts for 21 days.
Friday, October 25th, under the Shukra Pushya Yoga, is an ideal day to purchase jewelry, gold and silver utensils, and invest in financial instruments. It is also considered a good day to start a new business, buy new vehicles, land, or clothes.
While it’s advisable to take delivery of a new vehicle on October 25th, it’s recommended to drive it only after Dhanteras or the day after Diwali.
By following this auspicious shopping calendar, individuals can make the most of the festive season and invite prosperity into their lives.
