Dhanteras, or Dhan Trayodashi, celebrated two days ahead of Diwali, is considered an auspicious day to buy gold and silver. It’s believed that buying gold and silver jewellery or utensils brings wealth and prosperity to home. In many states, Dhanteras also marks the beginning of the five-day-long Diwali festivities.
On the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras devotees worship Lord Kuber, the Hindu god of wealth, and Goddess Lakshmi to seek blessing for growth and prosperity in life.
Dhanteras is observed on the 13th day of Krishna Paksha in the month of Kartik, as per Panchang. This year Dhanteras will be observed on Friday, November 10.
Here are the best-picked good wishes and messages you can share with your family and friends to make the day memorable.
