Significance of Dhanteras

The word dhanteras is the collective name of “Dhan“, meaning wealth, and “Teras” meaning 13th. The festival falls on the 13th day of Krishna Paksha of Kartik Month, in October or November. 

As per the mythological tales, an astrologer predicted that King Hima would die on the 4th day of his marriage. On hearing this, his wife accumulated all her jewelry at the entrance and lit a Diya. 

On dhanteras day, God of Death, Yama came disguised as a serpent and got bewildered with the shine and shimmer of the ornaments. Thus, Yama couldn’t take the king with him. Thus, every household lit a diya on dhanteras day praying for the long life and prosperity of the family.

Dhanteras Puja Vidhi At Home

Dhanteras Puja is performed before Diwali by worshipping Lord Ganesha and Devi Lakshmi.

  • Ideally, a diya is lit before the puja’s commencement, also known as Dhantrayodashi puja. Just ensure the Diya is lit overnight.
  • The diyas are meant to eradicate negative energy and evil spirits far away from home. 
  • Idols are placed on a new red cloth and worshipped with flowers, leaves, and agarbatti. 
  • You will see small footprints drawn with rice flour and vermilion powder from the doorway to the puja area. This is a symbol of goddess Lakshmi entering their abodes. 
  • First, Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi are given a bath in holy water and sandal paste. honey, ghee, and butter. 
  • Fresh flowers are showered on them. 
  • Naivadya and prasad in the form of fruits and sweets are offered to the god and goddesses. 
  • A special kind of Prashad is offered to the goddess, especially in Maharashtra. It is made with pounded coriander seeds blended with jaggery. 
  • Pandits chant various mantras during this puja ritual as both Dhanalaxmi and Lord Ganesha are worshipped. 
  • For this puja, many people buy precious and semi-precious jewellery, silver coins, and utensils. Along with mantras, family members pray to God for peace, prosperity, and happiness and seek their blessings.

Dhanteras Vrat

There are no strict ritual religious norms to be followed on the day of the puja. Many people perform Dhanteras puja fast on this day till the puja happens in the muharat. Panchamrit made with milk, curd, honey, sugar, and ghee is offered to God. Usually, the fast is broken with this auspicious item.

Food To Consume On Dhanteras

Ate ka halwa is a must among all the food consumed on dhanteras. It is offered to Goddess Laxmi and then distributed as a prasad.
