The five-day Diwali festival, celebrating spiritual triumph, kicks off on Tuesday, October 29th with Dhanteras, also known as Dhanatrayodashi. This auspicious day commemorates the emergence of Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, along with Lord Kubera (god of wealth) and Lord Dhanvantari (deity of health and Ayurveda) from the churning of the Milky Sea in Hindu mythology.
Devotees will worship Goddess Lakshmi, along with Lord Kubera and Lord Dhanvantari, seeking blessings for wealth, prosperity, and health. While Lakshmi Puja on Dhanteras is significant, the ceremony on Amavasya, two days after Dhanatrayodashi, is considered even more important.
The most auspicious time for Lakshmi Puja on Dhanteras falls during Pradosh Kaal, when Sthir Lagna prevails. This year, the puja muhurat is from 6:31 PM to 8:13 PM on October 29th.
As Diwali celebrations begin, share these Dhanteras messages and quotes with your loved ones, wishing them abundance and joy.
