Dhanteras is also known as Dhantrayodashi and it is celebrated two days before the festival of lights, Diwali.

Follow the Tradition
In the evening, diyas of clay are lit to drive away the bad spirits. Also, the main entrance is decorated with these diyas and rangoli to welcome the Goddess of wealth and prosperity. Bhajans of Goddess Lakshmi are sung, ‘Naivedya’ and fruits are offered, and aarti is done. These rituals to appease Goddess Lakshmi make the household rich and prosperous year after year. Diyas are placed in the doorways of home as an offering to Lord Yama, the host of death. It is believed that this averts untimely death in the family.
It is considered, by Hindus, extremely auspicious to make new purchases of gold and silver articles. New utensils are also purchased on this day. These days, Dhanteras is known as the most auspicious day to buy an automobile, appliances, kitchenware, and precious metals.
