Dhanteras falls on October 23rd, 2022, and as always, one day before Choti Diwali and two days before Diwali. Indians rarely wait for these days to start their celebration. Children and adults look forward to Diwali and all it brings, including sweets, fireworks, and families gathering together well before the big festival. Indian households rejoice in their pujas and finery and light up their homes with as many diyas as they can find. Pujas are performed in both simple and grandiose styles, depending on the family tradition. New outfits are worn, and with them comes the best jewellery from their collection. But before celebrating Diwali, Dhanteras is welcomed as one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar. Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped ardently, for she is the Goddess of wealth. Is it any wonder that we associate gold with Dhanteras? After all, gold is considered an auspicious metal and is believed to bring greater wealth and prosperity, which is why we buy gold in the form of coins, jewellery, or even statues on this day.
Why is buying gold on Dhanteras considered auspicious?
Here are a few reasons why we buy gold on Dhanteras. For starters, gold is always linked with Goddess Lakshmi. It is believed that offering gold to her on Dhanteras will make her happy, and we will receive her blessings for good luck and prosperity.
Since gold is considered a pure metal, we link it with our peace of mind and purity of soul. Then, there is the obvious association with wealth. After all, gold is expensive and investing in it is believed to attract more wealth and could be the start of our increasing prosperity. Finally, the festival of Diwali, starting with Dhanteras, is also a festival of lights. We believe that it lights up our lives and protects us from evil. By association, gold is imbued with the power of protection. It is also thought to be the harbinger of positivity in our lives.
So, what are the ways in which you can bring gold into your life this Dhanteras? We have a few ideas that will make it simple for you!
Go for the gold jewellery.
Buy your kids gold necklaces like the Ganesh Ji Kids’ Gold Pendant. Buy yourself a Classic Fern Gold Ring. You can add a charm to your watch with the Butterfly Gold Watch Charm or buy the Elegant Cable Gold Chain to use with all your different pendants. The Sacred Ganesha Diamond Pendant is an equally good choice to bring home this Dhanteras. Whatever the jewellery, it is gold and comes into your life with a promise of hope and new beginnings and paves the way for a glittering future.
Why not add to your puja collection?
Dhanteras bring a religious fervour into Indian homes along with fragrant flowers, colourful rangoli, and diyas all around. It also gives you an opportunity to add to your puja collection. Deities and idols are some of the most common purchases we add to our puja room. You can also buy gold-plated lamps to light up your puja room this Dhanteras.
Want to take time to design jewellery, buy gold coins!
You can buy gold coins from one gram to fifty grams from CaratLane. They can be plain gold coins or have Lord Ganesha, or Goddess Lakshmi engraved on them, like the Lakshmi Gold Coin and the Lucky Ganesha Gold Coin. The best part of buying gold coins with Gods and Goddesses is that you can change them to pendants with just a small ring and wear it as a necklace. You can also use the plain gold coins and make it a personalised pendant with your name or the initials of your loved ones. Or, take the time to come up with what you would like to buy and exchange the plain gold coins for that special piece of jewellery at a later date.
