Dhantrayodashi is also known as Dhanteras, which is celebrated every year on the Trayodashi Tithi (thirteenth day) of the Krishna Paksha of the month of Kartik. The word itself means wealth and prosperity. It is the first day of the 5-day festivities, and on this day, buying gold, silver, and vehicles is considered highly auspicious. Also, buying new clothes and utensils on this day is considered highly auspicious.
According to scriptures, Lord Dhanvantari is not only regarded as the God of wealth. While many people worship Lord Kuber on this day but according to the ancient traditions, worshipping Lord Dhanvantari has a special significance on Dhanteras.
This year, Trayodashi will begin on 18th October at 12:18 PM and end on 19th October at 01:51 PM. Therefore, Dhanteras will be celebrated on 18th October 2025. It is believed that the Lakshmi Puja on Dhanteras should be done during the pradosh kaal, which will start from 05:48 PM to 08:20 PM, with a duration of 2 hours and 24 minutes.
