Dhanteras 2023





 Dhanteras 

The day before Deepavali.

Dhanteras is a combination of two words. 'Dhan' denotes wealth, and 'Teras' denotes the thirteenth day of Krishna Paksha. On this day, Goddess Lakshmi, Ganesha, Dhanvantari, and Lord Kubera are worshipped during the puja.

I lit 13 lamps in front of Lakshmi , Ganesha photo. Offered neivedyam and water.

Recited Lalitha Sahasranamam, bhagya sukatam and sang songs on ambal .

Out side the house ,I lit 4 lamps facing south for Lord Yama . It's called Yama deepam.

Also listened to Dhanavantri stothram and kubera stuthi.
