Dhanteras is being celebrated today, on October 29.
According to the Hindu calendar, every year the festival of Dhanteras is celebrated on the Trayodashi date of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. The festival of Dhanteras is celebrated two days before Diwali. This year, Dhanteras is being celebrated today, on October 29. According to mythology, Dhanvantari Jayanti is also celebrated on this day. It is a religious belief that on this day, worship is done in the house for the blessings and peace of Goddess Lakshmi, and in the evening, lamps are lit in every corner of the house; but according to the Vastu Shastra, there are some places in the house where lighting a lamp on the day of Dhanteras is very important. It is said that lighting a lamp at these places brings special blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, and there is no shortage of wealth and grains in the house throughout the year. So today, let us know in which places lighting a lamp on the day of Dhanteras pleases Goddess Lakshmi.
Ayodhya’s astrologer Kalki shared that there is a tradition of lighting lamps at some places on the night of Dhanteras to get the special blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. It is believed that by doing this, there is happiness and prosperity in the house, and one also gets rid of Vaastu defects.
On the night of Dhanteras, a lamp of ghee should be offered near the Tulsi plant. It is said that this brings special blessings of Goddess Lakshmi along with Lord Vishnu.
Along with this, lighting a lamp of ghee in the northeast corner of the house is considered extremely auspicious. While lighting this lamp, put a little saffron and some rice in it. By doing this, wealth increases in the house, and one also receives the special blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.
On the night of Dhanteras, a lamp should also be lit under the peepal tree. It is believed that doing so brings relief from financial difficulties.
Apart from this, after lighting lamps all around the house, if there is a Bael tree around you, then a lamp should be lit under that tree as well. By doing this, many gods and goddesses, along with Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Shankar, are pleased. Because all the gods and goddesses are said to reside in the Bael tree.
