Friends, as we all know, every year on the new moon day of the month of Kartik, the entire country celebrates Diwali, the biggest festival for Hindus. This year, it will be celebrated with great pomp on October 20th, and preparations for this can be seen in markets and homes. Dhanteras marks the beginning of the five-day Diwali festival and holds great significance in Hindu tradition. In 2025, Dhanteras will be celebrated on October 18th. This holy day is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, Goddess Lakshmi, and Lord Dhanvantari, who are worshipped for happiness, prosperity, and good health. Let's learn what to do and what not to do on this day.

Worship and Significance

Worship Lord Ganesha, Goddess Lakshmi, and Lord Dhanvantari to bring wealth, prosperity, and blessings into your life.

Lighting lamps and decorating the entrance with rangoli is considered auspicious to welcome positive energy.

Avoid Donating

Do not donate items like brooms, salt, sugar, turmeric, or milk on this day; these reduce prosperity and good fortune.

Cleaning and Preparation

Clean every corner of the house, including the ceiling, doors, and neglected areas, to remove negative energy.

Discard old or broken items, damaged electronics, torn clothes, or worn-out shoes for positivity and growth.

Purchasing Idols and Auspicious Items

Purchasing new idols of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha on Dhanteras is considered extremely auspicious for Diwali puja.

Choose idols that depict Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha with his trunk turned to the right, symbolizing prosperity and divine blessings.
