Why Mahavir Jayanti is a Market Holiday
Mahavir Jayanti is one of the most important festivals in Jainism, marking the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavir, the 24th Tirthankara. It is widely celebrated across India with prayers, processions, and religious gatherings. Since it is a national public holiday, major financial institutions, including stock exchanges, remain shut.
Plan Your Trades Ahead
Traders and investors are advised to plan their trades accordingly, especially those involved in short-term or day trading, as no transactions will be processed during the holiday.
The Indian stock exchanges generally operate from Monday to Friday, observing a set of scheduled public holidays each year. Mahavir Jayanti is one such occasion that brings the markets to a pause.
