On Wednesday, August 27, 2025, Indian financial markets, including the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), remained closed in observance of Ganesh Chaturthi, a major Hindu festival celebrated with great fervor, particularly in the state of Maharashtra, where both of the country’s main bourses are located. This mid-week holiday provided a brief but significant pause for traders, investors, and analysts, allowing them to step back from the daily grind of the markets and prepare for the resumption of trading on Thursday, August 28, 2025.
