I’ve grown up seeing my parents buy utensils and coins on Dhanteras, and that custom has stayed with me. I do believe it brings good luck. This year, I am buying a silver idol of Lord Ganesha — to keep positivity and success flowing in both personal and professional life.

I love buying something special on Dhanteras. This year, I plan to buy a few silver gifts for my friends and family to make Diwali extra special. The evolution of Dhanteras—from a purely traditional observance to a modern-day celebration—shows how our cultural practices beautifully adapt with time while keeping their essence alive.

For me, Dhanteras isn’t just about buying gold or silver—it’s about inviting the right energy into life. I believe what we bring home reflects our intentions for the year ahead. This time, I plan to buy a crystal idol of Goddess Lakshmi and Saraswati—something radiant yet simple, reminding me to stay grounded while chasing my dreams. Over time, Dhanteras has evolved beautifully from rituals to reflection. True prosperity isn’t just material, but emotional, creative, and spiritual—and that’s the real glow of Dhanteras for me.

Yes, I do buy something special on Dhanteras. This time, I want to buy a piece of silver jewellery for myself and a few gifts for my loved ones. I feel the essence of Dhanteras has evolved — it’s no longer just about material things, but about the intention behind them. It’s about investing in joy, positivity, and relationships.

I still remember once on Dhanteras my father came home with a small steel box. At first, I didn’t understand what was so special about it until I saw my name written on it. I was just 11 years old, and that was probably the first thing that truly felt like ‘mine.’ My father said, ‘From now on, whenever you get some money, keep it in this box. You never know when it might help you buy yourself whatever you want.’ That simple moment has stayed with me forever. Just like every year, this time too I am buying something special with my earnings.

I don’t shop much, usually a small silver coin for the puja. If Goddess Lakshmi blesses me financially, maybe next year I’ll buy something bigger! I still remember how my mother made Diwali magical with just a few sparklers and crackers. Even with little, we felt rich in happiness.

Dhanteras is a sacred time, and I always buy a silver Laxmi coin for the puja. I believe that when we fold our hands in prayer, that connection with the divine remains timeless — no matter how modern our society becomes.
