Dhanteras, also known as Dhanatrayodashi, marks the beginning of the five-day long Diwali festival. It falls on the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna Paksha in the Hindu month of Kartik. This year, Dhanteras will be celebrated on 2nd November 2025. It is considered to be one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar and is celebrated with great enthusiasm and fervor all over India.
The word Dhanteras is derived from the Sanskrit words ‘Dhan’ meaning wealth and ‘Teras’ meaning thirteenth. It is believed that on this day, Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, visits the homes of her devotees and blesses them with wealth and prosperity. Hence, people worship Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kubera, the god of wealth, on this day and seek their blessings for a prosperous and successful life.
On this auspicious day, people clean and decorate their homes with colorful rangolis, diyas, and flowers to welcome Goddess Lakshmi. They also buy new utensils, gold, silver, and other items as it is believed that buying something new on Dhanteras brings good luck and prosperity. In many parts of India, people also perform a special puja called ‘Dhanteras Puja’ in the evening to seek the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kubera.
Apart from the traditional rituals and customs, Dhanteras is also a time for exchanging warm wishes, quotes, and images with family and friends.
