Dhanteras is celebrated just before Diwali, that is on Trayodashi Tithi (the 13th day of Kartik Krishna Paksha). Dhanteras is considered a very auspicious day when Goddess Lakshmi blesses us with peace, health, and prosperity. On this day, we welcome Goddess Lakshmi with diyas and oil lamps, flower decorations, fairy lights, and more. On this day, we also revere Lord Kuber (God of wealth) and Lord Dhanvantari (God of medicine and good health). Thus, Dhanteras is considered a very special day and is celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm.

‘Teras’ means ‘thirteen’. It is the beginning of the five-day Diwali celebration. Another important characteristic of this day is that it is believed, that if we buy certain things on this day, it will bring a lot of success and prosperity in our lives. Thus buying precious things like gold or silver is a ritual on Dhanteras followed by many.
