Labh Chaturthi, also known as Saubhagya Labh Chaturthi, is an auspicious day that falls after Diwali. It marks the final celebration of the festive season and is considered a highly favorable day for businesses and new ventures.
The word 'Labh' means benefit or profit, and 'Chaturthi' refers to the fourth day. Devotees worship Lord Ganesha on this day to seek blessings for prosperity, success, and good fortune.

On Labh Chaturthi, business owners often perform Chopda Pujan, which is the worship of their account books. This ritual is done to seek divine blessings for a profitable and successful financial year ahead.
It is also a day when many people resume work after the Diwali holidays, believing that starting on this day will bring success and growth. The day is filled with prayers, offerings, and a sense of optimism for the future.
