Karond Grain Market in Bhopal reopened on after a five-day Diwali break. Traders performed prayers before starting business. They will buy wheat, soybean, and other crops from farmers. The market closed on Dhanteras and opened on Bhai Dooj. Special 'muhurat' trades will take place, where farmers' first crops often fetch higher prices. Many farmers arrive early to sell their produce during these auspicious trades. A Diwali gathering will also be held at the market. To participate in muhurat trading, farmers can bring their crops to the market a day or two in advance. (Updated 23 Oct 2025, 12:40 IST; source: link)
