Celebrate Dhanteras 2024 with Wedding Affair by bringing these prosperous gifts to your house!
Dhanteras 2024 is today and the entire country is all set to begin the Diwali festive saga with this auspicious occasion. It is celebrated to pray to Lord Dhanvantri, the deity of health and ayurveda, who emerged during the Samundra Manthan carrying a pot of amrita and sacred ayurvedic texts.
The story behind the festival of Dhanteras is that of a young prince who had an omen about being bitten by a snake on the fourth day of his marriage. The wife did not let him sleep by lighting lamps and displayed her jewellery at the entrance. Yama, being the god of death, in the disguise of a serpent, was dazzled by the glow and could not enter the chamber. Thus, the prince was saved, leading to the celebration of Dhanteras as a day symbolizing protection against misfortune.
