Dhanteras will be celebrated on November 10, 2023, marking the beginning of the 5-day Diwali festival. On Dhanteras Puja, Lakshmi – the Goddess of wealth, is worshipped to provide prosperity and well-being. It is also the day for celebrating wealth, as the word ‘Dhan’ literally means wealth, and ‘Tera’ comes from the date 13th. The auspicious day falls in the month of Kartik on the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight.

Goddess Lakshmi is linked to a different Dhanteras mythology. Hindu mythology describes Goddess Lakshmi as emerging from Samudra Manthan while seated on a lotus and holding a vessel filled with gold, which stands for fortune, success, happiness, and wealth. Devotees decorate their front doors with lovely rangolis and light diyas inside their homes to greet Goddess Lakshmi and ask for her blessings. In the evening, earthen lamps are lit at the entrance and the entire household to dispel the evil spirits. We spoke with astrologer, Prerna Malhotra from All India Institute of Occult Science and True Vastu (founded by Chairman Gurudev Shrie Kashyap), to learn about the do’s and don’t to follow on this auspicious day.
