Significance of Dhanteras
In Sanatan Dharma, the festival of Dhanteras is held in great esteem. The legend goes that the festival of Dhanteras is linked with Samundar Manthan. As per beliefs, when the Samundar Manthan took place for procuring nectar by the demons and the deities, Lord Dhanwantari himself emerged from the sea carrying Amrit Kalash in his hands. The lord is also considered to be the Vaidh (doctor) of deities and he is specially worshipped on this very day. In this regard, devotees who celebrate this festival with great devotion and pious heart are not only blessed with wealth, peace, and prosperity but also with good health. Since Lord Dhanwantari appears with Amrit Kalash in his hand, the tradition of buying utensils is followed on this very day. As far as prevailing beliefs concerning the same, it is said that buying utensils on this very day leads to multiplying of wealth 13 times. Also, buying gold, silver, or other items is considered to be extremely fruitful on this very day. Along with Lord Dhanwantari, the worship of Lord Kuber, Maa Lakshmi, and Lord Ganesha is also performed on this very day.
Besides this, on the day of Dhanteras, there is also a tradition of lighting a lamp/Diya before Yama, the messenger of death. According to the beliefs, it is said that the devotees can avoid untimely death. With regard to the Shloka in Padma Purana,
कार्तिकस्यासिते पक्षे त्रयोदश्यां तु पावके।
यमदीपं बहिर्दद्यादपमृत्युर्विनश्यति।।
kārtikasyāsite pakṣe trayodaśyāṃ tu pāvake।
yamadīpaṃ bahirdadyādapamṛtyurvinaśyati।।
