News India Live, Digital Desk: The Mahaparva of Diwali is coming soon, and it starts from the special day of Dhanteras! Dhanteras is the first and most important day of this festival lasting five days. On this day, people not only offer special worship of Lord Dhanvantari, God of wealth, Kubera and mother Lakshmi, but also consider buying happiness and prosperity like gold-silver, vehicle, household items or utensils. It is believed that the things purchased on Dhanteras bring Barkat in our house and doubles happiness.
What is the special connection of ‘thirteen’ on Dhanteras?
Dhanteras’s name is made up of ‘Dhan’ and ‘Teres’, which directly means the thirteenth day of wealth. An interesting belief is that anything purchased on this day gives 13 times more fruit. This is the reason that there is also a tradition of burning 13 lamps in the evening. According to religious stories, Lord Dhanvantari, who is called the God of Arogya, appeared on the Trayodashi Tithi (13th day) of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month, manifested with nectar kalash during the churning of the ocean.
