Why 'Shubh' and 'Labh' are written during Diwali

During Diwali 2026, 'Shubh' (auspiciousness) and 'Labh' (gain) are written on doors, walls, and account books. Rooted in Hindu tradition, they are believed to be sons of Lord Ganesha. Traders write them during Chopda Pujan on new account books. Together, they symbolise prosperity, honest earnings, and divine blessings from Goddess Lakshmi.
