Dhanteras marks the beginning of the Hindu festival of Diwali. The day is also known as Dhantrayodashi, as Hindus worship Lord Kubera and Goddess Laxmi who signify wealth and prosperity. This year, the occasion will be celebrated on November 13.
The etymology of the word Dhanteras is ‘dhan’ which refers to ‘wealth’. According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that on this day goddess Lakshmi came out of the ocean while the milky sea was being churned with a pot of gold and wealth. That is why the day is associated with buying new clothes, gadgets, and jewellery.
Traditionally, people bought gold on this day since it was believed buying it will bring more wealth and prosperity into the house. Other than gold jewelry many also buy utensils and coins. Many jewellery stores also offer gold coins specially moulded for Diwali festivities with the embossed image of Goddess Lakshmi.
