The swearing-in of newly elected Sarpanches across Telangana has been rescheduled from December 20 to December 22 after public representatives cited the absence of an auspicious muhurat. Officials noted that December 20 coincides with the new moon day, leading to the change.
Breaking with tradition, the NSE and BSE will hold Diwali Muhurat trading in the afternoon between 1:45 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. today, marking the start of Samvat 2082. Commodity markets will follow similar timings amid festive investor optimism.
