Why is this day known as ‘Dhanteras’?

  1. ·         It is believed that on the ‘Trayodashi Tithi’ of the ‘Karthik Krishna Paksh’ Lord Dhanwantari was born. And this is why this day is known as Dhanteras
  2. ·         Bhagwan Dhanwantari was originated from ‘Samudra Manthan’ and He was born with a vase or ‘kalash’ of ‘amrit’ in his hand
  3. ·         This is also why there is a tradition where buying utensils on Dhanteras are considered auspicious, as Bhagwan Dhanwantari was born with a ‘kalash’ himself
  4. ·         Dhanwantari is known to be the doctor of all deities, which is why Dhanteras is also known as ‘Ayurveda Diwas’
  5. ·         The day the sea was churned and Lord Dhanwantari was born, was also the day when Goddess Laxmi was born.
  6. ·         On Dhanteras, Kuber Ji, Goddess laxmi, Dhanwantari and Yamraj are worshipped.

Importance of Yam Puja on the Dhanteras day
According to religious beliefs, Yamraj had said that
If any human, on the date of Trayodashi of the Karthik KrishnaPaksh lights a lamp or ‘deepak’ at the main entrance of his/her house facing Southern direction then his/her life shall be free of the curse of untimely death or ‘akaal mrityu'

Therefore, on this day we must worship Lord Yamraj following proper rites and rituals
