About
Dhanteras (Dhanatrayodashi) is the Trayodashi of the waning moon in Kartika, as calendars in the north name the month, and the first of the five days of Diwali. In the evening a lamp is lit for Yama outside the home, and many worship Lakshmi, Kubera and Dhanvantari, the physician of the gods. Buying something of metal is a widely kept custom. It is kept on the day the Trayodashi holds in Pradosh, the early night.
Questions
Which day is Dhanteras this year?
It is kept on the day the Trayodashi holds in Pradosh, the early night, in your city: the date shown at the top of this page. When the Trayodashi covers both evenings, or neither, the earlier day is taken; a calendar with another rule can differ by a day.
Is there a set time for buying gold or silver?
The texts we follow give the lamp for Yama and the evening worship, in Pradosh; they set no hour for buying metal, which is a custom. Families buy during the day or in the evening, as their own practice is.
Why is the lamp for Yama set facing south?
South is Yama's direction in the tradition, so the lamp offered to him is commonly set facing south.
