Diwali is the festival which denotes positivity, brightness, cheerfulness. There is a special feeling of joy that engulfs us all much before the arrival of this festival. Diwali festivities start from Dhanteras which is the most auspicious day of the year. Dhanteras comprises of “Dhan” i.e. money and “Teras” i.e. 13, Thirteenth day of Krishna paksha of lunar cycle. This is also the day when “Dhanvantri- Goddess of Health”, appeared from lord Vishnu’s “Samundra Manthan” with a golden pot of nectar in her hand. Praying to her on this day ensures good health. It is believed that whatever is bought on this day, flourishes multi folds and brings prosperity to the buyer. Buying gold, silver, electronics and even steel utensils is considered very fortunate on this day. People looking forward to strike a deal on property should pay the token amount on this day. Gomati chakra, which is associated with goddess Lakshmi is another auspicious thing one must possess and worship on this special day, as it is believed to carry special powers to cure illness, protect from evil eye, bring prosperity and peace of mind. Gomati chakra, tied in red cloth if hanged on the inner side of the main door, shields house from negative energy.
