Hinduism celebrates many festivals throughout the year. Dhanteras, one of these festivals, marks the beginning of the five-day Diwali festival. It is also known as Dhantrayodashi. This festival is celebrated every year on the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight of the month of Kartika. This day marks the arrival of happiness, prosperity, and wealth in the family. Buying gold and silver on Dhanteras is considered especially auspicious, but if you are unable to purchase gold or silver, don't worry. According to Ujjain's Acharya Anand Bhardwaj, there are some other items that are considered auspicious to buy on Dhanteras and bring happiness and prosperity to your home.

According to the Vedic calendar, Dhanteras is celebrated on the thirteenth day. This year, the thirteenth day will begin at 12:18 pm on Saturday, October 18th, and end at 1:51 pm on Sunday, October 19th. In Hinduism, special importance is given to the Udayatithi, meaning the date that is present at sunrise. This year, Trayodashi Tithi will begin at sunrise on October 18th. Therefore, Dhanteras will be celebrated on Saturday, October 18th, 2025.

Buying these items on Dhanteras is also auspicious!

Brass – Brass is considered the metal of Lord Dhanvantari. It is believed that purchasing brass utensils brings health, good fortune, and 13 times more wealth to the home.

Broom – Buying a broom on Dhanteras is considered very auspicious. The broom is considered a symbol of Goddess Lakshmi. It is believed that a new broom sweeps poverty from the home and brings happiness and prosperity. After bringing this broom home, worship it before using it.

Coriander – Buying coriander on Dhanteras and offering it to Goddess Lakshmi is considered auspicious. Coriander is also considered a symbol of wealth. After the puja, placing these seeds in your safe or money vault brings prosperity.

Gomati Chakra – This item is considered very sacred and miraculous. Purchasing 11 Gomati Chakras on Dhanteras, tying them in a red cloth, and placing them in your safe helps alleviate financial hardship and strengthen your financial situation.

Cowry – Yellow cowries are considered to be associated with Goddess Lakshmi. Purchase cowries on Dhanteras, color them with turmeric (if they are not already colored), and place them in your safe after performing the puja on Diwali night. This ensures a steady flow of money into your home.
