Dhanteras 2021: Significance

As per drikpanchang.com, the five-day long Diwali festivities start with Dhantrayodashi which is also known as Dhanteras. It is believed that during the churning of the ocean, Goddess Lakshmi came out of the ocean on this day. As a result, Goddess Lakshmi, along with Lord Kubera who is the God of wealth, is worshipped on the auspicious day of Trayodashi. However, Lakshmi Puja on Amavasya after two days of Dhantrayodashi is considered more significant.

It is said that the Lakshmi Puja on Dhanteras or Dhantrayodashi should be done during Pradosh Kaal which starts after sunset and approximately lasts for 2 hours and 24 minutes.

Dhantrayodashi

It must also be noted that the day of Dhanteras is also observed as Dhanwantari Triodasi or Dhanvantri Jayanti, the birth anniversary of the God of Ayurveda.
