Dhan (treasure or property) Teras (the thirteenth day) is celebrated on the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna paksha (dark fortnight) in the Hindu month of Kartik.
Hindus believe that when goddess Lakshmi is worshipped on this day, devotees receive prosperity and excellent health. This celebration is observed two days before Diwali. It is customary for people to buy precious metals on this day because Lord Kubera, the god of assets and wealth, is also revered on Dhan Teras. Kubera endows the faithful with prosperity, luck, and good fortune through purchasing these metals. Homes are cleaned, and the people bathe before worshipping Lakshmi.
Diyas (oil lamps) are lit during the day, and children burn crackers.
PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian civil calendar, the official holiday calendar in India. The Hindu faith has many calendars, each specific to different regions and tribes, with dates and celebrations marked by differing positions of the sun, moon, and stars. Names of months and holidays and the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar may vary widely from one calendar to the next. Determine the proper calendar before attending local events.
