Dhanteras 2024: The festival of Diwali starts from Dhanteras. This time the festival of Dhanteras will be celebrated on 29 October. There is a tradition of buying gold on this occasion. It is said that buying gold on this day brings blessings to the house. But gold is very expensive, so it is not necessary that everyone buys gold on Dhanteras. Even if your budget doesn't allow buying gold, here are 5 things you can bring home on Dhanteras that will also help in bringing happiness and prosperity to your home.
Silver-
If you cannot buy gold then buy silver or silver coin. This will be in your budget. Like gold, silver is also considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
brass pot-
Nowadays people buy steel utensils on the day of Dhanteras, but these should not be bought. You can buy brass utensils on this day. Brass utensils are also considered a symbol of prosperity. It is said that when Lord Dhanvantari appeared during the churning of the ocean, he had a brass pot in his hand. Bringing brass utensils on Dhanteras brings blessings to the house.
barley-
Barley is also considered a symbol of prosperity and is considered equivalent to gold. On this day you bring barley home. Plant some of these barley in a home bed or pot and serve them. Keep the remaining barley somewhere. Use it in worship etc. if necessary. This will bring a lot of prosperity to your home. You can drink barley leaf juice. This will cure all your health problems.
Rice-
Rice is a grain and is also associated with prosperity. On the day of Dhanteras, you can buy some rice at home. Use these rice brought home on the day of Dhanteras to worship Goddess Lakshmi. Later, tie some rice in a small bundle and keep it in the safe. Mix some cooked rice with homemade cereal. This will ensure prosperity in your home. But keep in mind that do not bring broken rice, bring only whole rice.
2.Gomti Chakra-
Gomati Chakra is very dear to Goddess Lakshmi. Buy Gomati Chakra on the day of Dhanteras and when you worship Goddess Lakshmi on the night of Diwali, keep Gomati Chakra at the place of worship and worship it too. Keep it safe in money later. It is believed that this will always keep your money box full of money.
