Event Summary

Dhanteras, also known as Dhantrayodashi, is a significant Hindu festival celebrated on October 18, 2025, marking the beginning of the five-day Diwali festivities. It is widely observed across India and by Hindu communities in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. The festival is dedicated to the worship of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Kubera, the god of prosperity, with devotees seeking blessings for abundance and financial stability. Ganesha is also worshipped for wisdom, and Dhanvantari, the god of Ayurveda, is honored for health. A unique ritual involves lighting a lamp for Yama, the god of death, to ward off untimely demise. A key aspect of Dhanteras is the auspicious purchase of gold, silver, utensils, and other valuable items, believed to bring good fortune and prosperity. Homes are cleaned, decorated with diyas and rangoli, and families perform evening pujas during specific muhurat timings to invite wealth and harmony.
