Dhanteras Puja is celebrated on the first day of Diwali and is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Lord Kubera, the treasurer of the gods. Devotees perform this Puja to invite prosperity, financial stability, and positive energy into their homes and workplaces.

The ritual involves setting up a decorated altar with idols of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kubera, arranging Kalash, flowers, fruits, sweets, and lighting diyas. A Pandit Ji conducts the Puja while guiding family members or business owners in Sankalp, chanting mantras, Havan, and Aarti. Special offerings, including coins or gold, are often placed as part of the ritual to symbolize abundance.

Dhanteras Puja is ideal for homes, shops, or offices and can be customized with additional rituals, extended prayers, or multiple Pandits to maximize blessings.
