Amisha Vora, Chairperson & MD, Prabhudas Lilladher, says “for quite some time, the sentiment was intact and the correction was shallow and this was not so broad-based. In the last 7-10 days, there was a broader correction across market caps,, less in Nifty but of course across market caps, a number of advance declines was also very sharp in favour of declines.

prayers form a significant part of religious practices across faiths, worldwide. They are not considered mere rituals. Prayers are poetic expressions of devotion as can be seen in the Upanishads, Ramayan, Mahabharat, Puranas and many other scriptures.
