Labh Panchami

Labh means profit. The most auspicious day of the Gujarati year to formally open a shop, sign agreements or start a venture, many businesses close from Diwali and reopen today rather than on the new year itself. New account books are opened with Shubh and Labh written on the first page.

Sweets and a family meal; the Diwali sweets run out around here.
