💫 About Labh Panchami:

Labh Panchami, also called Laabh Pancham or Saubhagya Panchami, is celebrated on the fifth day (Panchami) of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the Kartik month — marking the end of the Diwali festival week.

The word “Labh” means profit, benefit, or advantage, while “Panchami” signifies the fifth day. This day is considered extremely auspicious for new beginnings, business activities, and wealth-related ventures.

In Gujarat, traders reopen their shops and offices after Diwali. It is known as “Laabh Pancham”, a day to resume business with divine blessings. People worship Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha to attract prosperity, success, and happiness.
