Which is also known as Dhantrayodashi, devotees offer their prayers and respects to Lord Kubera and Goddess Lakshmi. This year, Dhanteras will be celebrated on Friday, November 13, 2020. It also, marks the first day of Diwali celebrations. The auspicious day, which is observed two days before Diwali, also marks the beginning of the celebrations for the ‘Festival of Lights’. It is believed that on Dhanteras, Goddess Lakshmi resides at home, which is why there is an unsaid practice to clean up the household and design imprints of little feet on the floor with a mixture of rice and flour. On Dhanteras, there is another long-standing practice of buying gold. Long queues outside jewellery stores are noticed as several discounts are doled out. Buying gold, silver or even utensils are considered symbolic and, is believed, will protect people against evil and bring luck and prosperi
