Introduction

Diwali is one of the most anticipated festivals in India often known as the festival of lights. 

It represents the victory of light over darkness and the triumph of good over evil, celebrated by grand festivities, family reunions, and the exchange of gifts.

The Diwali celebration spans five days and is closely associated with Lakshmi Pujan, during which we seek the eternal blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. It presents a prime opportunity for investors to buy gold, invest in property, or explore other avenues like mutual funds.
