The Spiritual Significance of Dhanteras

Dhanteras marks the beginning of the five-day Diwali festival. The word “Dhan” means wealth, and “Teras” refers to the thirteenth day of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase) in the month of Kartik. On this day, devotees worship Lord Dhanvantari, the divine physician, and Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and abundance.

It is believed that during the Samudra Manthan (churning of the cosmic ocean), Lord Dhanvantari emerged holding a pot of Amrit (nectar of immortality). Therefore, Dhanteras is also considered auspicious for health, healing, and rejuvenation of life energy.

Why Dhanteras 2025 is Spiritually Powerful

In 2025, Dhanteras falls on a Saturday, combining the energy of Shani Dev (Saturn) with Mahalakshmi’s grace. This rare combination enhances karmic cleansing, hard work, and disciplined financial prosperity.

According to the Hindu Panchang, the day is ideal for:

Starting new business ventures or investments

Buying gold, silver, utensils, or electronics

Performing Lakshmi and Kubera puja for wealth stability
