Happy Dhanteras 2019: Wishes, Messages, WhatsApp status, stickers and wallpapers

Dhanteras, also known as Dhanatrayodashi or Dhanvantari Trayodashi, is the first day in the festival of Diwali. Dhanteras is the combination of two words--Dhan means  wealth and Teras means 13th day of the cycle of moon. Hence Dhanteras is celebrated on the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) in the Vikram Samvat Hindu calendar month of Karthik.

On this day, people buy utensils, gold, metal other jewellery to bring good luck.

In this festival people worship Lord Yamraj, Lord Kuber, the god of wealth, Lord Dhanwantri (God of Ayurveda).

Why is Dhanteras celebrated

On this day, devotees worship Lord Kubera, who is known as the God of Wealth and Goddess Lakshmi. According to ancient Hindu mythology, when asuras (devils) and devas (gods) were performing samudra manthan (churning of the ocean) to seek amrit (divine nectar) of immortality, Lord Dhanteras or Dhanwantari emerged from this churning carrying a 'kalash' of elixir. And for this reason, people purchase new utensils from the market and worship them.

This year Dhanteras is celebrated on October 25, a day before Diwali. The auspicious puja time for Dhanteras is from 7:08 pm to 08:13 pm.
