Dhanteras, also called Dhantrayodashi, is celebrated two days before Diwali and marks the beginning of the five-day festival. Devotees worship Goddess Lakshmi for wealth, Lord Kuber for prosperity, and Lord Dhanvantari for health.
Homes and workplaces are cleaned, decorated, and illuminated with lamps. It is considered highly auspicious to purchase gold, silver, utensils, or other valuable items, inviting positive energy and good fortune into the household.
Performing the puja during these timings is believed to attract prosperity, good fortune, and protection from negativity.
