Hi,
The auspicious celebration of the first of the five-day Diwali festival, known as Dhanteras, is special to the hearts of many across the globe. Commonly referred to as “Dhantrayodashi,” it is a celebration of good fortune, prosperity, and wealth. This year, in 2025, Dhanteras will occur on the 9th of November, and as ever, it will be a day where families unite to reinforce traditions, bond, and invest in a brighter economic future.
Why Gold is Synonymous with Dhanteras
Gold has been the symbol of riches and prosperity across various cultures, but especially in India. On Dhanteras, buying gold is thought to bring wealth, good luck, and positive energy to the household. This is essentially due to the belief that the goddess Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and prosperity, bestows her blessings to all such people who spend in gold during this auspicious day.
The Historical Significance of Dhanteras
The history of Dhanteras traces back to an ancient Hindu legend. According to myth, the young son of King Hima was rescued from the snake’s bite on the eve of his fated death by his unwavering wife. She stacked her jewelry and gold coins at the doorway of her house, forming a glittering wall of light, so distracting Yama, the death god, to such an extent that he was unable to penetrate the house. This mythological incident explains the protective and auspicious nature of light and riches, due to which the festival of Dhanteras now routinely incorporates the practice of lighting lamps and gold purchase.
