New Delhi: Dhanteras is the first day, to begin the Diwali celebrations. According to the Hindu calendar, it is observed on the thirteenth day of the moon's waning phase (known as Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashwin (October–November). On this day, numerous rituals and pujas are held. The purchase of new metal objects, especially gold and silver, is one example of such a practice.
