Dhanteras 2024: Significance
Dhanteras is the first day of the Diwali festival, which is observed during the Hindu month of Kartik on the 13th lunar day of Krishna Paksha. "Dhanteras" is a combination of two words i.e., "Dhan," which means wealth, and "Teras," which refers to the 13th day of the Kartik month. This festival honors Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, and Lord Dhanvantari, the deity of Ayurveda and health. It is said that observing Dhanteras can help one attract affluence, prosperity, and good health.
Lord Dhanvantari was born on the day of Dhantrayodashi and he is believed to have emerged from the ocean during the Samudra Manthan (ocean churning) who held the Amrita (elixir of immortality) in his hands. He is the God, who bless the devotees with good health. The Goddess Lakshmi is also worshipped on the day of Dhanteras. To please her, devotees light lamps, clean their houses, and make rangoli. Buying goods, particularly gold, and silver is believed to bring auspiciousness and prosperity in life.
