Dhanteras, also known as Dhantrayodashi, marks the start of Diwali festivities.
On this auspicious day, devotees worship Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kubera, seeking blessings of wealth and prosperity.
In 2025, Dhanteras falls on Saturday, October 18.
The Trayodashi tithi begins at 12:18 PM on October 18 and ends at 1:51 PM on October 19.
It is believed that giving or donating money on Dhanteras may bring financial loss.
Avoid gifting black clothes or items, as the color is considered inauspicious.
Oil and ghee symbolize light and positivity, and giving them away is believed to diminish your home’s prosperity.
Buy gold, silver, or brass items—like coins, jewelry, or utensils—to attract wealth.
Light 13 diyas in the evening during the Yama Deepam ritual to remove negativity.
Clean and decorate your home to invite Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings.
