| 2 | 2026 correction | 26,329 (Jan 2026) | ~18,900 (Mar 2026) | ~−28% | Global risk-off conditions, geopolitical/economic uncertainty and changing rate expectations | Not fully recovered at the time of the cited data |
| 3 | 2021–23 bear-market cycle | 18,604 (Oct 2021) | ~15,183 (Jun 2022)* | ~−18% | Inflation, rate hikes, Russia–Ukraine war and global tightening | Recovery subsequently occurred |

*The exact peak-to-trough definition can produce different numbers depending on whether closing or intraday prices are used. Nifty historical-data sources distinguish between these measures.
Important correction to the table
There is an important distinction between a crash, a correction, and a single-day shock. For example, the June 4, 2024 election-result event was an exceptionally large one-day fall: Nifty closed down 5.93%, while its intraday fall reached about 8.5%. The indices recovered to record levels soon afterward.
The 2020 COVID episode is much clearer as a genuine crash: NISM records Nifty falling from 12,430 in January 2020 to 7,511 in March 2020, a 39.57% decline, with 246 days to regain the previous peak.
For the longer 2021–23 cycle, one useful drawdown dataset identifies a roughly 26% peak-to-trough decline from October 15, 2021 to March 15, 2023, with the previous peak recovered on June 27, 2024.
The 2024–25 decline was also significant. NSE reported that Nifty had fallen 15.6% from its September 2024 peak by February 28, 2025, after five consecutive monthly declines.

Numerology के नजरिए से Analog vs Digital Watch
Numerology के नजरिए से Analog vs Digital Watch
Analog watch में समय की सुइयाँ लगातार घूमती रहती हैं। Numerology में गोलाकार गति को continuity, balance और life-cycle का प्रतीक माना जाता है। इसलिए कुछ numerology मान्यताओं में analog watch को व्यक्ति की stability, patience और balanced energy से जोड़ा जाता है।
वहीं digital watch समय को सीधे numbers में दिखाती है—जैसे 10:10, 11:11, 12:12। Numerology में numbers को symbolic energy से जोड़कर देखा जाता है। खासकर 11:11 जैसे repeating numbers को कई लोग intuition, new beginnings या manifestation का संकेत मानते हैं।
एक दिलचस्प फर्क:
⌚ Analog = समय का flow और balance
⌚ Digital = समय की exactness और numbers की energy
उदाहरण के लिए, analog watch में 10:10 की स्थिति visually balanced दिखाई देती है। इसी कारण watches में 10:10 display को aesthetically pleasing माना जाता है। Numerology की मान्यताओं में भी 1 और 0 को नए आरंभ और potential से जोड़कर देखा जाता है—हालाँकि इसका वैज्ञानिक प्रमाण नहीं है।
इसलिए अगर आप numerology में विश्वास करते हैं, तो analog watch को continuous growth और balance का प्रतीक और digital watch को precision, numbers और specific numerical patterns का प्रतीक मान सकते हैं।
