Chopda is one of the most important rituals which is observed on the day of Diwali. A chopda refers to the traditional, red-cloth-bound ledger book used by merchants to maintain financial records. In 2026, Chopda Puja will be observed on Sunday, November 8, coinciding with Diwali and Lakshmi Puja. The ritual is traditionally performed during the auspicious muhurat on the day of Amavasya.
