Why Dhanteras is so special to us?
For centuries, Dhanteras has been a time for families to come together, clean and decorate their homes and make the first purchase of Diwali – often gold or silver – believing that it brings good luck and prosperity. But more than just tradition, it is an opportunity for us to express gratitude for what we have and set intentions for a bright future.
Legend has it that the origins of this festival date back to the time when a young wife’s love and loyalty to her husband saved him from death. She built a shield out of gold and jewellery, lit a hundred diyas and sang songs all night, distracting Yama, the god of death, from her husband. Today, Dhanteras reminds us to surround ourselves with light, love and all the things that make life worthwhile.
How we celebrate Dhanteras?
On this day, many families make it a tradition to buy precious metals or new utensils as a symbol of prosperity. Houses are cleaned and lights are put up everywhere to welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, into our homes. Rangolis adorn the floors, sweets are prepared and in the evening, we gather to thank Lord Dhanvantri, the god of health and healing, in a simple prayer.
