Dhanteras, also known as Dhantrayodashi, marks the beginning of the Diwali festival. It falls on the thirteenth day of Krishna Paksha in the month of Kartik. This sacred day is dedicated to Lord Dhanvantari, the divine physician, and Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Dhanteras is believed to be the day when Lord Dhanvantari emerged from the ocean during the Samudra Manthan carrying the pot of Amrit the nectar of immortality. Hence, this day is associated with good health, longevity, and prosperity. It is said that worshiping Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kuber on Dhanteras brings abundance, peace, and success. The day reminds us that true wealth is not only in gold or money but also in good health, happiness, and good deeds. So, this Dhanteras, while you light diyas and welcome prosperity into your home, also open your heart to compassion.
