Essential items to buy on Dhanteras: This year, Dhanteras falls on October 29, marking the beginning of the Diwali festival. On this auspicious day, devotees worship Lord Dhanvantari for health and longevity, while Lord Kuber is revered for wealth and prosperity. Buying certain items on Dhanteras is believed to enhance happiness and attract abundance. Here’s a guide to 10 divine purchases that are said to bring prosperity.

1. Lamps

Dhanteras marks the start of the five-day festival of lights, and lamps play a key role in this celebration. Lighting lamps during Diwali dispels negativity, fostering an atmosphere of peace and prosperity. Purchase earthen lamps and include two larger ones for the main puja.

2. Silver

Silver is regarded as a symbol of wealth and divine blessings. It is said to originate from Lord Shiva’s gaze, making it highly auspicious. Silver items, especially those used in Diwali puja, can bring good fortune and prosperity when bought on Dhanteras.

3. Gomti Chakra

Gomti Chakras are unique stones featuring wheel-like designs, often in shades of white. Purchasing two or five Gomti Chakras on Dhanteras and offering them to Goddess Lakshmi during Diwali puja is believed to attract wealth and remove obstacles.

4. Kheel Batasha

A traditional symbol of Venus and prosperity, Kheel Batasha is an important offering to Maa Lakshmi. Placing Kheel Batasha in an earthen pot and offering it during puja invites positive energies for the year ahead.

5. Cowrie Shells

Since ancient times, cowrie shells have symbolized wealth and are used to attract prosperity. Buying five or nine cowries on Dhanteras and offering them on Diwali can help clear hurdles in marital and financial matters.

6. Conch Shell

Conch shells, considered brothers of Goddess Lakshmi, are symbols of good fortune and health. Bringing a conch shell home on Dhanteras ensures auspicious vibrations in the household. Use it during Diwali puja for added blessings.

7. Idols of Ganesh and Lakshmi

Diwali worship centers on Lord Ganesh for wisdom and Goddess Lakshmi for wealth. Buying separate idols of Ganesh and Lakshmi, with Lakshmi seated on a lotus and bestowing wealth, on Dhanteras enhances their blessings.

8. Broom

The broom represents cleanliness and prosperity. Purchase a broom on Dhanteras, keep it in the puja area during Diwali, and start using it the next day to signify the removal of poverty and negative energy.

9. Utensils

Buying new utensils, especially a water pot or kalash, on Dhanteras is believed to bring luck. After offering them in Diwali puja, these utensils can be used to serve and store water, symbolizing abundance.

10. New Clothes

Purchasing new clothes in vibrant colors like yellow, red, orange, and pink is considered auspicious for Dhanteras. Avoid black and blue attire for Diwali as they are not favorable for the festive season.
