In India, this festival is usually celebrated with great gusto, since it is considered to be one of the most significant of all Hindu festivals.
According to the Drik Panchang, Dhantrayodashi is the first day of five-day-long Diwali festivities. This year, it will be celebrated on November 13, which is a Friday.
On this day, people typically worship Lord Kuber and Goddess Lakshmi — the God and Goddess of Wealth. As per Hindu mythology, on this day, Goddess Lakshmi had emerged from the ocean with a pot of gold and wealth, during the churning of the sea, also known as Samudra-Manthan.
As the name suggests, ‘dhan‘ means wealth, and it is typically celebrated on the ‘thirteenth’ lunar day of Krishna Paksha in the Hindu calendar month of Kartik — hence the name ‘Dhanteras’. The puja has to be done during the ‘pradosh kaal‘, which starts after sunset.
While people symbolically purchase gold and silver on this day, this year, because of the pandemic, they may have to stay a bit cautious. As such, keeping with the spirit of the day, here are some wishes that you can share with your near and dear ones, praying for their health and prosperity on this auspicious day, along with your own.
