As the festive lights of Diwali draw near, one practice shines brighter every passing year—purchasing gold on Dhanteras. For many Canadian residents with origins in South Asia, the ancient ritual goes beyond being merely cultural—it is an intermingling of faith and sensible investment strategy. At AU Bullion, we’re honored to assist our clients in honoring tradition while investing intelligently in the precious metal.

Here’s why purchasing gold on Dhanteras has become such an important (and rewarding) occasion throughout Canada—and how you can become part of this timeless ritual.

What Is Dhanteras

The first day of the festival of Diwali, known as Dhanteras, is traditionally the most auspicious day for buying gold, silver, and other things of value. In Hinduism, while “Dhan” is synonymous with wealth, the term “Teras” describes the thirteenth day according to the lunar calendar. Goddess Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity, and Lord Dhanvantari, god of health and wellness, are the deities the day is dedicated to.

Buying precious metals on Dhanteras is believed to invite wealth, luck, and success into the home and business for the year ahead.

Celebrating the Festival of Lights in Canada

In the urban hubs such as Brampton, Surrey, Vancouver, Mississauga, and Edmonton, the tradition of Dhanteras has been upheld well among the South Asian community. But recently, it is not only the spiritual value—there is the practical value too, with gold and silver being regarded as smart, tangible investments in uncertain economic times.

With inflation, market volatility, and worldwide uncertainty, many Canadians are looking towards gold as a solid store of value—and what better day to begin than Dhanteras?
