Significance of Dhanteras
This is a day of worship and prosperity. This is mainly a place for ardent worshippers to seek favorable health for themselves by acclamation to Lord Dhanvantari and for wealth and prosperity toward the Goddess Lakshmi. The Yama Deepam, so lit, was supposed to cast its fertilizing force toward the household and bring about fortune.
Dhantrayodashi Vrat Katha
According to the legend, Goddess Lakshmi blessed a hardworking farmer who had prayed for prosperity. Since then, devotees have been observing Dhanteras with prayers and rituals so that happiness, abundance, and success enter their lives.
