**New Delhi, India** – The five-day Diwali festival, celebrating spiritual triumph, kicks off today, Tuesday, October 29th, with the observance of Dhanteras or Dhanatrayodashi. This auspicious day, according to Hindu mythology, marks the emergence of Goddess Lakshmi (wealth and prosperity), Lord Kubera (wealth), and Lord Dhanvantari (health and Ayurveda) from the churning of the Milky Sea.

Devotees will honor these deities through worship rituals, with the most auspicious time for Lakshmi Puja falling during Pradosh Kaal, between 06:31 PM and 08:13 PM on October 29th.

While Dhanteras marks the beginning of the festive season, the Lakshmi Puja performed two days later on Amavasya is considered even more significant.

To spread joy and prosperity during this festive time, we encourage you to share heartfelt Dhanteras messages and images with your loved ones.
