Dhanteras Do's and Don'ts

In the heart of India, the arrival of Dhanteras marks the commencement of the festive season. With the air filled with the scent of incense and the streets adorned with twinkling lights, this celebration symbolizes the anticipation of good fortune and abundance. But, like every festival, there are certain etiquettes and customs that should be observed. So, let's embark on a journey through the do's and don'ts of Dhanteras, shall we?

The Do's

1. Worship with Devotion

On Dhanteras, devotees rise early to worship the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi. The day begins with a spiritual cleanse, as homes are thoroughly cleaned and adorned with colorful rangoli designs.
Light oil lamps and incense to create a serene ambiance for the evening.

2. Purchase Precious Metals

It's customary to buy gold or silver on this auspicious day. These metals symbolize wealth and prosperity. So, indulge in a little shopping spree and invest in something precious – your future.

3. Share the Wealth

Spread the joy of Dhanteras by gifting friends and family. Exchanging tokens of love and fortune is a heartwarming tradition that adds to the festive spirit.

4. Enlighten Your Home

Diyas (oil lamps) hold great significance. Light them throughout your home to dispel darkness and negativity, welcoming the goddess of wealth. The soft, flickering glow of diyas is a sight to behold.

The Don'ts

1. Avoid Arguments

Dhanteras is a time to celebrate love and prosperity. Avoid disputes and maintain a harmonious atmosphere in your home. Arguments are believed to attract negative energies, which is something we all want to steer clear of.

2. Skip Borrowing or Lending Money

Financial transactions should be kept at bay. Avoid borrowing or lending money on this day, as it's considered inauspicious. Instead, focus on preserving your wealth and abundance.

3. Say No to Cleaning

Believe it or not, avoid cleaning your home on Dhanteras. Instead, focus on decorating and embellishing. It's believed that cleaning may sweep away your wealth, which is something you'd want to avoid.

Now, as the aroma of incense fills your home and the sound of bells and mantras echo in the air, it's time to plan your journey to experience the rich cultural tapestry of India. And what better way to do it than with MyTravaly?
