Dhanteras 2025: What It Truly Stands For
Every year, Dhanteras marks the grand beginning of the Diwali festival season in India. This time, Dhanteras will be celebrated on Saturday, October 18, 2025.
For most of us, it’s the day to buy gold, silver, or something valuable—believed to bring good luck and prosperity. But according to ancient scriptures, Dhanteras holds a much deeper meaning. It’s not just about material wealth—it’s a celebration of health, positivity, and spiritual abundance.
The Real Story Behind Dhanteras
As per Hindu mythology, Dhanteras traces its roots to the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean). On this day, Lord Dhanvantari—the divine physician—emerged carrying a pot of nectar (Amrit), symbolizing eternal health and life.
That’s why the festival is dedicated to Lord Dhanvantari, Goddess Lakshmi, and Lord Kuber—deities representing health, wealth, and prosperity. Worshipping them together is said to attract both material success and spiritual well-being.
