The word Dhan means wealth and on this auspicious day, the God and Goddess of wealth, Lord Kubera and Goddess Lakshmi are worshipped by Hindus for good luck and prosperity. The Hindus believe that on this day, Goddess Lakshmi emerged from the ocean during the samudra manthan (churning of the ocean) with a pot of gold and wealth. This day several Hindus also worship Lord Dhanavantri, considered as the Lord of Ayurveda and is believed to be an avatar of Lord Vishnu.
Lord Kubera who is known as ‘the treasurer of the gods and king of Yakshas, also represents wealth, prosperity and fame. It is believed that worshipping him on Dhanteras and Diwali will be blessed with good fortune, wealth and prosperity.
