All about Dhanteras
1) History & Significance of Dhanteras
This day holds a lot of importance for Hindus, as it’s the day when Lord Kuber and Goddess Lakshmi along with Lord Dhanvantri came out of the ocean during ‘Samudra Manthan’. Not only that people also worship Yamaraj – the ‘God of Death’. As per Mythology, there was a king named ‘Hima’, whose fate had it that his son would die on the 4th day of this marriage. However, his daughter-in-law was smart and she knew what she had to do to ward off the death of his husband. So, she took all her Gold and Silver jewelry and placed them at the main door. She also lit several Diyas to bring light into the path of Lord Yamaraj. When he came to take the soul of her husband, he was blinded by the bright light. And thus, her husband’s life was spared. For the same reason, people light large Diyas on Dhanteras at the front door. This is done to ward off any untimely death in the family.
2) DHANVANTARI PUJA VIDHI
Lord Dhanvantari is regarded as the founder of Ayurveda. People pray to Dhanvantari seeking cures for diseases and good health for their family. After the ritual of bathing Lord Dhanvantari and anointing his idol with vermillion, he is offered nine varieties of grains (Navadhanya). Now chant the mantra below.
Om Namo Bhagavate Maha Sudharshanacvasudevaya Dhanvantaraye. Amrutha Kalasa Hasthaaya Sarva Bhaya Vinasaya Sarva Roka Nivaranaya Thri Lokya Pathaye Thri Lokya Nithaye Sri Maha Vishnu Swarupa Sri Dhanvantri Swarupa Sri Sri Sri Aoushata Chakra Narayana Swaha ||
Meaning: We pray to the God, who is known as Sudarshana Vasudev Dhanvantari. He holds the Kalasha full of the nectar of immortality, Lord Dhanvantri removes all fears and all diseases. He is the well-wisher and preserver of the three worlds Like Lord Vishnu. Dhanvantari is empowered to heal the Jiva souls. We bow to the Lord of Ayurveda.

Why do we buy gold on Dhanteras?
For most activities, Hindus prefer to be guided by a mahurat, the auspicious time to make purchases. Pushya Nakshatra and Dhanteras are the two most auspicious occasions when people can buy gold and precious metals. Pushya Nakshatra is ruled by Jupiter and is also the birth star of Goddess Lakshmi. Therefore it becomes the most auspicious time to bring home the Goddess of Wealth. Because of its association with Lakshmi, Pushya is the most appropriate for buying gold and jewelry. When Pushya Nakahatra mes on a Thursday, it is called Guru Pushya Yoga and when it rises on Sunday, it creates the Ravi Pushya Yoga: As per Vedic astrology, both are auspicious days the buying gold.
This auspicious occasion is said to increase prosperity in your life and thus it is suggested to wear new clothes, buy gold & silver jewelry, Lakshmi-Ganesh idols, vehicles, gadgets, Kalash, utensils, and even a broom.

Observed on the third day of Diwali, which is on the 12th November 2023 – Sunday
Diwali Lakshmi Puja Muhurat – 4:20 PM to 5:58 PM
Lakshmi Puja is performed on the eve of “Amavasya Tithi”. This special day which welcomes prosperity, peace, good luck, and happiness follows a specific muhurta and rituals. Are You Thinking of performing puja from a Hindu priest for more blessing and perfection in your Diwali and Dhanteras puja vidhi then you are just a way to call, contact Hindu priest ketul Joshi for Diwali or Dhanteras puja: +44 079 0373 5365.
Cleanliness and Purification Process:
Wake up early in the morning, and clean the surroundings and space where pooja is to be performed. Also, sprinkle Gangajaal to purify the house. Cleanliness not only drives away negativity but is also liked by Goddess Lakshmi who is said to visit only those houses that are always clean.
Regarded as a feminine and sacred utility in the Hindu culture, the ‘broom’ is honored by offering Haldi-Kumkum. Often considered as Mother Lakshmi- The Goddess of Wealth, a broom is given high respect which is why touching the broom by foot is a reflection of disrespect towards Maa Lakshmi.
Once done with the cleaning process, take a bath, and complete the self-purification or Atma Shodhan process. An auspicious bath before sunrise not only cleans one’s body but also destroys the Raja-Tama components, keeping the soul focused and conscious of performing any puja Vidhi. Promising to perform the puja Vidhi with great dedication, you have to make Sankalpana by taking water in your fist.
Worship Five Deities:
Just before commencing the puja Vidhi, worship Lord Ganesha. Also known as “Vighnaharta,” Ganpati Bappa is said to remove obstacles, or Vighna is one’s path. Worshiping Lord Kubera, the treasurer of all gods, brings prosperity, good fortune, and wealth. Also, the three famous forms of Goddess Lakshmi are worshiped on this day. Maa Mahasaraswati; The Goddess of Learning and Books, is honored to seek knowledge and other musical skills. ‘The Goddess of Wealth and Money’- Mahalakshmi is worshipped for happiness and courage. Goddess Mahakali, when worshipped with complete devotion, helps you achieve your aspirations and dreams.
Lighting Diyas and Chanting Mantra:
The radiance of light dispels darkness and spreads positivity. Hence, Diyas or earthen lamps filled with Ghee are to be placed facing the northeast or north direction. First, light the Diya in the Puja room, then at the Tulsi Vrundavan, and later at the water containers.
Here, the wick in the Diya signifies the ‘soul’ or the ‘Atma’, while Ghee prepared from cow’s milk is considered to banish negativity. This Ghee is said to emit stronger divine or Sattvik particles in the air and fill your home with happiness.
Once done, join your hands and recite the Shanti Path Mantra. This mantra is generally recited at the beginning and the end of the Puja Vidhi. Start Diwali Puja with the holy mantra:
“ऊं अपवित्र: पवित्रोवा सर्वावस्थां गतोऽपिवा।
य: स्मरेत् पुण्डरीकाक्षं स बाह्याभ्यन्तर: शुचि:॥”
“While reciting this mantra, splash water or Gangajal over your posture and worship materials 3-3 times with Kusha or Pushpa. Achchaman –
Om Keshvay Namah, om Madhavaya Namah, Om Narayana Namah then wash hands.
Om Dyauh Shanti Rantariksham Shantih
Prithvi Shantirapah Shantih
om shadhayah Shantih Vanaspatayah Shantih
Vishvedevaah Shantih Brahma Shantih
Sarvam Shantih Shantireva Shantih
Saamaa Shantiredhih
Om Shaantih, Shaantih, Shaantih ||
Install the Chowki:
Now comes the installation of an altar or chowki where the puja is to be performed. Red is the color of purity, love, and Shakti, which is why you have to place a soft red cloth on the chowki. Then carefully place the idol of Maa Lakshmi along with the Lord Ganesha idol on her left side as she is his mother.
Placing the Kalash:
Just before placing a Kalash, spread a heap of rice grains in the center of the chowki, which acts as an Asana. Apply Haldi-kumkum to the Kalash and the idols. Fill the silver or brass Kalash with water, supari, coins, Akshat rice, marigold flower, and a pinch of Haldi-Kumkum, and cover the mouth of the same with Mango leaves and a coconut.
Invoke Deities with Pujas:
Followed by Ganpati Puja, worship Maa Lakshmi, Kali, Lord Kuber, and Lord Vishnu on the said muhurta. Pray with your hands joined and eyes closed. Precious items such as gold, books, wealth items, etc., are considered to be auspicious items symbolizing Maa Lakshmi and Lord Kuber.
Humble Offerings:
Starting with Padya, where you have to offer a drop or two of water to the Lord. Next is Arghya, where water is offered to the Lord, followed by Achamanam, where you have to drink the water from your palm once offered to the Lord. The idols made of metal are then bathed by offering water which is known as the Snana process. Once offered Panchamrut (Ghee, Milk, Honey, Sugar, Curd), the idols are then cleansed with water and wiped with a clean cloth.
After performing the Abhishek, offer Vastra to the Lord, which is a fresh piece of clean cloth. Finally comes the Yagnopaveeth, where you have to offer the sacred Janeyu and Akshat rice to Lord Ganesha. Offer flowers, fruits, Dhoop, sweets, and recite the mantras and Aarti to please the supreme deities, and then distribute the sweets among the devotees as Prasadam.
Praying to all these deities with dedication, devotion, and love will bless you and your family with good health, abundance, joy, and overall well-being.
4) Diwali puja Mantras:
