What Dhanteras Means
Dhanteras, also called Dhantrayodashi, is celebrated on the thirteenth day of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Kartik. Devotees worship Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Lord Dhanvantari, the god of health. It is considered an auspicious day to buy gold, silver, new utensils and other valuables, and to light diyas that invite positivity into the home.
