Traditionally, families flock to jewellers to make their purchases on Dhanteras, and this year is no exception, particularly in Guwahati, where demand remains high despite the overall downward trend elsewhere.
Dhanteras, celebrated as part of the Diwali festival, is rooted in the belief that buying these precious metals on this day brings prosperity and good fortune.
Goddess Lakshmi emerged from the ocean during the churning of the Milky Sea on this day. Her arrival brings blessings to households, and Dhanteras is considered an auspicious occasion to start new ventures and make significant purchases, particularly gold and silver items.
