Dhana means wealth, and Teras means the 13th day per the Hindu calendar. Hence, Dhanteras is celebrated on the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) in the Hindu calendar month of Ashwayuja in the Amavasyant Luni-Solar Calendar. On Dhanteras, Lakshmi – the Goddess of wealth – is worshipped to provide prosperity and well-being. Dhanteras also holds special significance for the business community as Lord Kubera, the God of assets and wealth, is worshipped on this day.
