Dhanteras 2025: Day and Date
The festival of Dhanteras will be celebrated on Saturday, 18th October 2025, on the Trayodashi of Krishna Paksha in the month of Kartik. According to belief, buying new utensils or precious metals on this day brings good fortune. Dhanteras marks the beginning of the five-day Diwali festival, dedicated to Lord Dhanvantari and Yamraj. This year’s Pooja Muhurat is from 7:16 PM to 8:20 PM.
Dhanteras 2025: Significance & History
During the Samudra Manthan, Lord Dhanvantari, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, emerged from the ocean holding a pot of nectar. His appearance symbolises health, healing, and the origin of Ayurveda.
Another legend says that on this day, Lord Vishnu appeared in his Vamana avatar to humble King Bali and restore balance between gods and demons — marking the victory of light, wisdom, and prosperity.
