About the Vidhi

Labh Pancham (Labh Panchami, also called Saubhagya Panchami) falls on the fifth day of Kartik Shukla paksha, after Diwali. Traders who kept their shops closed or on reduced hours through Diwali reopen on this day. Traders write 'Shubh' and 'Labh' in the new books, mark a swastika and make the year's first entry after a short puja. Families may also apply kumkum or a sandalwood tilak to account books, cash boxes, keys or a laptop, and some families also place kumkum footprints (pagla) at the entrance, as per their custom. The auspicious muhurat is in the morning, and your pandit confirms the exact time for your city.
