The festival of lights has finally arrived and the whole country is preparing to welcome Goddess Lakshmi into their homes.

Diwali is a five-day celebration in our country, Dhanteras being the first day. Dhanteras is a very important day for Hindus all over the country. It is the thirteenth day of the Hindu month of Karthik. "Dhan" means wealth and "Teras" means the thirteenth day. It is the day when Goddess Lakshmi emerged out of the ocean during the churning of the sea.

The Kuber mantra should be chanted early in the morning after taking a bath, in front of the Lord's image.

Regular chanting of this mantra is said to bring wealth into the house and it also helps keep all the evil away. On the day of the Dhanteras, the women of the house should be dressed in new clothes, preferably in red or yellow colour.

A rangoli should be made near the entrance of the house. Make a foot-print of Goddess Lakshmi with a paste of rice, in the direction of the entrance of the house. Light a diya in front of the goddess and perform aarti. Make sure to light a total of 14 diyas around the house.

This pooja will definitely please Lord Kuber and he will bless you and your entire family with abundance of wealth throughout.Have a Happy and Wealthy Dhanteras!
