Dhanteras 2024: The festival of Dhanteras, considered highly auspicious for shopping, is known for its tradition of purchasing items believed to enhance happiness and fortune in the home. In 2024, Dhanteras will be celebrated on Tuesday, October 29, during the Kartik month’s Krishna Paksha Trayodashi.

This festival, also known as Dhantrayodashi, marks the appearance of Lord Dhanvantari from the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan), holding an amrit (nectar) pot in his hands. As the brother of Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Dhanvantari is especially fond of items in yellow metals, which is why purchasing gold is encouraged on this day.
