Rising prices of gold and silver are becoming a hindrance on Dhanteras, so bring home these cheap things, blessings of Goddess Lakshmi!

On October 18, the festival of Dhanteras will be celebrated with great pomp across the country. After which the five-day festival of lights will begin. On the day of Dhanteras, there is a tradition of worshiping Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Kuber and Dhanvantari, the god of health. Buying gold or silver on this day brings wealth, glory and happiness to the house and pleases Goddess Lakshmi. But if a person is not able to buy gold and silver due to rising prices, then he should try this solution.

There is a tradition of buying gold or silver on Dhanteras and Diwali. Some people make gold jewelery on this day while others buy silver utensils or coins. At present, due to the rising prices of Gold and Silver, it has become difficult for the common people to buy it and the prices of these metals increase further during festivals.

Currently, the price of silver has reached Rs 2 lakh per kg in the retail market, while the price of gold has reached Rs 1.30 lakh per 10 grams. Because of which buying jewelery or silver utensils and coins can be expensive at this time.

But according to mythology, on this day during the churning of the ocean, Lord Dhanvantari appeared with the nectar pot, after which the practice of buying gold or silver items started from this day. Buying these things brings prosperity, good fortune and health and the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi remain at home throughout the year.

If you are not able to buy gold and silver due to demand, then buy the idol of Goddess Lakshmi or Dakshinavarti conch on Dhanteras. The Dakshinavarti conch that emerged from the churning of the ocean is considered the brother of Goddess Lakshmi. Therefore taking it will prove to be very auspicious. Bring these things and keep them in your temple. Worship it on both Diwali and Dhanteras days.

Apart from this, you can also buy Gomti Chakra. This is a stone, which comes in many colours, but on this day the white stone has special significance. You can also wear this gemstone by putting it in a ring. On the day of Dhanteras, buy two or five Gomti Chakras and offer them to Goddess Lakshmi on Diwali, this will give special benefits.
