Story of Dhanteras in 2022

On the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna Paksha in the Hindu calendar month of Ashwini, Dhanteras is observed. In India, Dhanvantari, is an Ayurvedic deity who bestowed Ayurvedic knowledge on humanity.

Dhanteras is said to be connected to the legend of King Hima’s 16-year-old son, whose horoscope predicted his death from a snakebite on the fourth day of his marriage, according to an old wives’ tale. His wedded bride prevented him from falling asleep that day by arranging all of the jewellery and several gold and silver coins at the door of her bedroom.

All night long, she sang and recounted stories to rouse her husband. Yama, the god of death, became blind the following day by the brightness of the decorations and lights when he knocked on the prince’s door. In the past, I enjoyed listening to stories and music. He went in silence the following morning. A young prince’s rescue from the jaws of death in exchange for a new wife. This is why we celebrate Dhanteras.

Significance of Dhanteras

According to Hindu mythology, the day known as “Dhantra Yodashi” is lucky because it is believed that the goddess Lakshmi and the god of wealth, Lord Kubel, emerged from the sea as the milky sea was roaring. People began requesting God’s blessings for Goddess Lakshmi’s prosperous afterlife in their prayers to her and her Lord Kuva.

Buying precious metals like gold and silver during Dhanteras is lucky since it invites Goddess Lakshmi into the house. During Dhanteras people purchase a new business, a home, a car, or jewelry.
