“Heartfelt Dhanteras greetings to all my family members in the country. On this sacred occasion, I pray for everyone's happiness, prosperity, and good health. May Lord Dhanvantari bestow his abundant blessings upon all,” PM Modi posted on X.

Dhanteras is dedicated to worshipping Siddhi Vinayak, another name for Lord Ganesha; the Goddess of wealth, Mahalakshmi; and Kuber, the God of wealth and prosperity. It is considered an auspicious day to make new purchases.

Dhanvantari, who is also worshipped on the occasion of Dhanteras, is regarded as the god of Ayurveda and is believed to have imparted lessons in medical practice to rid mankind of ailments.

The first day of Diwali commenced on Monday, with Dhanteras marking the beginning of the festivities. The day is observed on the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) in the Vikram Sambat Hindu calendar month of Aaswayuja in the Amaavasyanta Luni-Solar Calendar.
