Why We Celebrate Dhanteras
The word ‘Dhanteras’ means wealth on the thirteenth day. It is believed that on this day, Lord Dhanvantari came out of the ocean during the churning (Samudra Manthan) with a pot of nectar. People pray to Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kubera to bring peace and prosperity to their homes. On Dhanteras, it is also considered lucky to buy gold, silver, or utensils. This brings positive energy and financial growth for the coming year.
