How to Celebrate Dhanteras

During Dhanteras, people decorate their homes with flowers, diyas, candles and fairy lights. They also deep clean their homes to get rid of any negative energy. They buy auspicious items like gold, silver, brass and copper commodities, Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh idols, brass, copper or silver utensils, brooms, electronics and home appliances, furniture, or real-estate property on Dhanteras to bring good luck.

Meanwhile, devotees of Goddess Lakshmi believe that it was on Dhanteras that Maa Lakshmi emerged from the ocean with a pot of gold when the gods churned the Milky Sea during the Samundra Manthan. Hence, they worship her as the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity on Dhanteras. Lord Kubera, the God of wealth, is also worshipped on this day. However, according to Drik Panchang, devotees should perform Lakshmi Puja on Amavasya after two days of Dhantrayodashi as it is considered a more significant muhurat. It should be done during Pradosh Kaal which starts after sunset and lasts 2 hours and 24 minutes.
