Dhanteras Puja

Dhanteras Puja, observed two days before Diwali, is dedicated to Lord Dhanvantari (the god of health) and Goddess Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth). On this auspicious day, devotees perform puja to seek good health, prosperity, and protection from negative energies. Homes and businesses are cleaned and decorated, new utensils or gold are purchased, and diyas are lit to welcome wealth and well-being. Performing Dhanteras Puja marks the beginning of the Diwali festivities with divine blessings.
