Dhanteras, a revered festival marking the beginning of Diwali, is a celebration of wealth, prosperity, and well-being. Rooted deeply in Hindu tradition, Dhanteras falls on the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna Paksha in the month of Ashwin, symbolizing auspicious beginnings and inviting prosperity into our lives. On this day, people across India and beyond honor Dhanvantari, the god of Ayurveda, and worship Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and abundance, to seek blessings of health, wealth, and prosperity.
Families come together to clean and decorate their homes with diyas, rangolis, and flowers, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Traditionally, people buy precious metals like gold, silver, and brass, symbolizing good fortune and financial stability. Dhanteras is also a time for renewing bonds, expressing gratitude, and embracing new beginnings as people exchange gifts and sweets with loved ones.
This Dhanteras, let us honor the spirit of abundance, share joy with those around us, and embark on a journey of prosperity, health, and harmony. May this festival bring lasting happiness and countless blessings to all, lighting up our lives with hope, joy, and prosperity for the year ahead. Happy Dhanteras!
