Celebrate DHANTERAS with TANISHQ

Dhanteras is the thirteenth (Trayodashi) day during the Krishna Paksha of Hindu month of Ashwin, and hence it’s also called Dhantrayodashi, as Dhan stands for Wealth. The Goddess of Wealth, Lakshmi is worshipped to usher in prosperity and wealth. Dhanteras, being a festival of wealth, marks one of biggest shopping days of the year as gold and silver articles such as coins, jewellery and other precious metals along with new utensils are purchased by every Hindu household. It is believed that new “Dhan” or some form of precious metal is a sign of good luck.
