      Dhanteras 2021: Traditionally known as Dhantrayodashi, Dhanteras is celebrated two to three days before Diwali. The word is derived from the two words, 'Dhan' which means wealth and 'Teras' which means thirteen.

      Dhanteras falls on the thirteenth day of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. This year it will be celebrated on 2nd November.

      On this day people worship goddess Lakshmi along with Lord Dhanvantari and Dhan Kuber. It is believed that the day can help yield wealth and prosperity. People mark the celebrations by buying something new, mainly utensils or jewellery. People also light diyas at the entrance of their homes in an attempt to ward off any evil.
