Dhanteras is highly significant in Hindu tradition, representing health, wealth, and prosperity

On Dhanteras, along with the puja muhurat, many people look for the most auspicious time to buy gold or silver on this special occasion

The festival`s origins trace back to when Dhanvantari emerged with the Amrit Kalash (pot of nectar) during the churning of the ocean, symbolising the birth of wealth and health

On this day, worshipping both Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Narayan is believed to bring immense blessings, prompting many to purchase metals like gold, silver, and copper as a way to invite prosperity into their lives

In parts of India, buying gold and silver on Dhanteras is considered highly auspicious. Many believe that purchasing these precious metals brings good fortune and prosperity to their homes
