The first day of the Diwali festival is known as Dhanteras. Hindus go shopping for gold and silver on this day because it is thought to be lucky. According to Hindu mythology, Dhanteras is the most auspicious time to purchase gold because it is thought that it will bring the buyer good fortune. As a result, demand for golden jewellery is higher at this time of year. (Image Source: Getty)

People typically buy gold and silver items, usually in the form of jewellery, along with some utensils on the day of Dhanteras. This is due to the Hindu belief—discussed earlier—that Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth, emerged from the celestial sea as it was being stirred. She had emerged carrying a pot of gold, which stood for prosperity. (Image Source: Getty)
