What the muhurat is for
and how the day is keptThe muhurat is for the opening itself: the shutter raised, the lamp lit and the first sale, the bohni, made inside the window. Many shopkeepers hold a Ganesh and Lakshmi puja first, draw a swastik and write shubh-labh at the door, and open the account book (bahi-khata) in the same hour. A firm’s registration or its first invoice can be timed the same way.
