Om Pooja Path makes it easy to book an experienced pandit online for your Dhanteras Puja anywhere in Bangalore.

What Is Dhanteras and Why Is It Celebrated?

Dhanteras falls on the thirteenth lunar day (Trayodashi) of Krishna Paksha in the month of Kartik, two days before Diwali. "Dhan" means wealth and "Teras" means thirteenth. According to tradition, Lord Dhanvantari, the physician of the gods and deity of Ayurveda, emerged from the churning of the ocean on this day holding a pot of amrit. This is why Dhanteras is linked with health as well as prosperity.

Families also worship Goddess Lakshmi for wealth and Lord Kuber, the treasurer of the gods, for financial stability. Buying gold, silver, utensils or new items on this day is believed to bring good fortune through the year.
