Dhanteras, celebrated two days before Diwali, is considered one of the most auspicious days in Hindu tradition. According to Vedic astrology, this day is dedicated to Lord Dhanvantari (the divine physician) and Goddess Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth). The word Dhanteras itself comes from Dhan (wealth) and Teras (the thirteenth day of Krishna Paksha in Kartik month).
Shopping on Dhanteras is not just about tradition—it’s about inviting prosperity, good health, and positive energy into your life. If you choose the right items, they can bring blessings for the entire year. Below are the 5 most auspicious things to buy on Dhanteras, along with astrological reasons and practical remedies you can follow.
1. Gold and Silver Items
Buying gold and silver on Dhanteras is the most common practice. According to astrology, both these metals are directly connected to planetary energies.
- Gold represents the Sun, which brings vitality, fame, and abundance.
- Silver represents the Moon, which enhances peace of mind, stability, and family happiness.
What to Buy:
- Coins of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha
- Small utensils (like bowls or glasses)
- Jewelry (rings, chains, bangles)
Astrological Tip:
If possible, buy a small Lakshmi-Ganesha coin in silver and keep it in your wallet or cash box. It ensures a steady flow of wealth. Chant the mantra:
“ॐ श्रीं महालक्ष्म्यै नमः” 11 times after bringing the item home.
2. Utensils (Brass, Copper, or Silver)
In Indian households, buying utensils on Dhanteras is considered a shubh karya (auspicious deed). According to astrology, metals like copper and brass strengthen Surya (Sun) and Guru (Jupiter), ensuring good health and wisdom.
What to Buy:
- Brass utensils for worship
- Copper vessels for drinking water (boosts health and energy)
- Silver bowls for offerings
Practical Remedy:
Before using new utensils, fill them with water, jaggery, or rice, and donate the first usage to a Brahmin or needy person. This doubles the blessings.
3. Broom (Jhadu)
It may sound surprising, but buying a broom on Dhanteras is considered highly auspicious. In Vastu and astrology, the broom represents Goddess Lakshmi because it sweeps away negativity and poverty (Daridra Dosh).
Why It Matters:
- Removes financial blockages
- Cleanses the aura of the house
- Invites fresh, positive energy
Astrological Tip:
Buy a new broom and keep it in the south-west corner of your home after sunset. Use it from the next day to symbolically “sweep away” poverty.
4. Electronic or Metal Appliances
In modern times, many people also buy electronics or appliances on Dhanteras. From an astrological perspective, metals enhance Shani (Saturn) and Mangal (Mars), bringing stability and productivity.
What to Buy:
- Steel items (like pressure cookers, utensils)
- Gadgets or home appliances
- Iron-based items (but avoid buying sharp knives or scissors on Dhanteras)
Remedy:
Before switching on any new appliance, offer a diya of ghee and chant a small prayer to Lord Ganesha for smooth functioning and to avoid sudden expenses.
5. Gomti Chakra or Shree Yantra
For those deeply connected with astrology and spiritual remedies, buying a sacred item like Gomti Chakra or Shree Yantra on Dhanteras is extremely powerful.
- Gomti Chakra balances planetary doshas and removes financial instability.
- Shree Yantra is believed to be the seat of Goddess Lakshmi and attracts long-term prosperity.
How to Use:
- Place Gomti Chakras in your cash box or locker.
- Keep a Shree Yantra in the east direction of your puja room.
Chant the Lakshmi mantra daily while lighting a ghee diya:
“ॐ ह्रीं श्रीं लक्ष्मीभ्यो नमः”
Additional Astrological Tips for Dhanteras
- Perform Lakshmi Pujan in the evening (around 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM IST is considered auspicious).
- Light 13 diyas outside your home to remove negativity.
- Donate food, sweets, or clothes to the needy as it multiplies blessings.
- Avoid buying black-colored items, sharp objects, or glassware, as they may invite negative energies.
Conclusion
Dhanteras is not just about shopping, it’s a spiritual investment in health, wealth, and prosperity. Whether it’s gold, utensils, a broom, or sacred yantras, each item carries deep astrological meaning and blessings. By combining tradition with simple remedies, you can make this Dhanteras (2025) a doorway to abundance and happiness for your family.
✨ May Goddess Lakshmi bless your home with wealth, peace, and prosperity this festive season!
Q: Is it okay to buy electronics instead of gold on Dhanteras?
A: Yes, buying electronics or appliances is also considered auspicious on Dhanteras. Traditionally, gold and silver are preferred, but in modern times, appliances made of metal (like steel or iron) are also accepted as they symbolize progress and stability. Just remember to avoid buying sharp objects like knives or scissors, as they are linked with negative energy.
