00:00Mahakumbh Mela 2025 is the biggest religious festival in the country.
00:06It has just started on Monday and it was the first bath on Monday.
00:10According to reports, more than 4 million people have taken a holy dip at the banks of the Sangam.
00:15People come here not only from India but from all over the world.
00:18And it is said that by taking a dip in the Ganges during Mahakumbh,
00:22not only purifies the soul, but also gets salvation.
00:25But today we will talk about such an interesting thing that often happens during Mahakumbh.
00:30And that is the fall of the share market, i.e. the crash of the share market.
00:35Yes, during Mahakumbh, the share market also takes a dip.
00:38And this is not a coincidence.
00:40Let's see some interesting data that explains why this happens.
00:45According to a report by SEMCO Securities,
00:48they have analyzed the performance of the stock market during the last 20 years during Mahakumbh.
00:53And the results that have come out are quite surprising.
00:57During the last 6 Mahakumbh fairs,
00:59the return of BSE's benchmark index Sensex has always been negative from the start to the end of Mahakumbh.
01:05During this 52-day Mahakumbh, Sensex has fallen by about 3.4%.
01:11Now if we understand it in a little more detail,
01:13then the biggest fall came during the Mahakumbh of 2015.
01:17And then Sensex fell by 8.3%.
01:20This Mahakumbh ran from July to September 2015.
01:24The second biggest fall was in the Mahakumbh of 2021,
01:27when Sensex saw a fall of 4.2%.
01:30Now if we talk about 2010, then the lowest fall was 1.2% at that time.
01:36There was also a fall in 2013 and 2016, and that was between 1.3% and 2.4%.
01:42So in the last 20 years, there has been no time when Sensex has given a positive return during Mahakumbh.
01:49This is very interesting, but there is also a twist in it.
01:52SEMCO Securities has also said that after Mahakumbh,
01:55in the next 6 months, the market has given positive returns 6 out of 5 times.
02:00After Mahakumbh, the average return has been seen to be up to 8%.
02:04The biggest rally was seen after the Mahakumbh of 2021,
02:07when Sensex had a 29% jump.
02:10Even in 2010, a good growth of 16.8% was seen in Sensex.
02:15But after 2015, a little negative return was seen in Sensex, but it was minus 2.5%.
02:21That is, if seen 6 times, then 5 out of 5 positive returns have been seen after Mahakumbh in 6 months.
02:29Experts believe that there may be many reasons behind the behavior of the market during and after Mahakumbh.
02:35One reason may be that investors become more cautious than the performance seen after the market during Mahakumbh.
02:43When there is volatility in the market, most investors sell off to avoid risk.
02:49If we talk about Monday, when it was the first bath, then 1.36% decline was seen in Sensex.
02:55That is, 1,048 points Sensex was down and it closed at 76,330.
03:01In Nifty also 1.47%, that is, a decline of 345.55 points was seen.
03:07And it closed at 23,085 points.
03:11If we look at the historical data, then more such declines can be seen now.
03:15Because during Mahakumbh, whenever Mahakumbh has happened, then the trend of decline in the share market has been seen.
03:21So after understanding all this, what should investors do in 2025 is an important thing.
03:27During Mahakumbh, there may be some volatility in the market.
03:31But it has also been seen that after Mahakumbh, the market also rebounds.
03:36Therefore, if you are a long-term investor, then you have to be patient.
03:40And you don't have to panic and sell off on short-term fluctuations.
03:44This is very important.
03:46Risk management and diversification are also very important for you.
