Pushya

In the festive season, Raipur's markets have become bustling with shoppers due to the auspicious Pushya Nakshatra falling on Thursday, October 24, just before Dhanteras. With two days of favorable timing for purchases, shopping will continue throughout Thursday and until 1 PM on Friday. As a result, an estimated business turnover of around ₹2,000-₹2,500 crore is expected during this Pushya Nakshatra.

Traffic Jams Spotted in Golbazar, Malviya Road, and Sadarbazar

Raipur's main markets, including Golbazar, Malviya Road, and Sadarbazar, were packed with people shopping for their favorite items. Traffic jams were reported frequently in these areas as crowds of buyers flocked to the shops. Since early Thursday morning, when the shops opened, a surge of customers filled the markets. Many shops had four to five people working simultaneously to serve customers, with one group leaving as another eagerly waited. This scene was repeated across various sectors due to the boost in shopping enthusiasm, especially after employees from both government and private sectors received their pre-Diwali bonuses.
