Why Dhanteras is Special: Dhanteras, also known as Dhantrayodashi, kicks off the Diwali festivities. Celebrated with great fervor among Hindu devotees, it involves worshipping Lord Kuber, the god of wealth, and Lord Dhanvantri, the god of medicine. Dhan means wealth, and Teras signifies the thirteenth day. Traditionally, buying gold, silver, and other auspicious items on this day is believed to attract prosperity and protection.
