Dhanteras officially marks the beginning of the auspicious and festive Diwali season. This year, it will be celebrated on 25 October, which is a Friday. As the name suggests, Dhan means money and teras means the thirteenth day of Krishna paksh of the Kartik month. It is considered to be a holy day to make any kind of gold or silver purchase, including household utensils, which ensures that worshippers are blessed with happiness and prosperity throughout the year.
The day is celebrated to mark the arrival of Danvantri Ji from Samudra Manthan. It is said that Danvantri Ji came down with a kalash in his hand, which contained the holy Amrit manthan that was distributed among Devi-Devtaas. People also seek blessings from Lord Kuber, who is considered to be the God of wealth and money.
