Hindu Festival: Traditions, Celebrations and Market Impact
When you hear Hindu festival, a series of religious events observed across India, often tied to seasonal changes and mythic stories. Also called Indian festival, it brings together rituals, community gatherings and a burst of economic activity. One of the most talked‑about occasions is Dhanteras, a day that marks the start of the festive season by honoring wealth and health.
Dhanteras requires the purchase of gold and silver, so shoppers head to the market eager to secure a shiny token of prosperity. This buying rush directly gold influences daily price movements; analysts note spikes in gold prices just before the day arrives. The ritual of lighting lamps, offering prayers to Lord Dhanvantari and performing rituals like cleaning the home creates a sense of renewal that carries into the next major Diwali celebration. Diwali, known for its fireworks and gift‑giving, builds on the optimism set by Dhanteras and pushes consumer spending even higher.
