Dhanteras story:
According to mythology, when the sea was churned by the gods and demons to obtain nectar, fourteen jewels were obtained from it one by one. After churning the sea, nectar was finally obtained. It is said that Lord Dhanvantari appeared from the sea with a pot of nectar in his hands. The day on which Lord Dhanvantari appeared with the Amrit Kalash was the Triyodashi date of Krishna Paksha in the month of Kartik, hence Dhanteras or Dhantrayodashi is the day of worship of Dhanvantari God.

Lakshmi Puja on Dhanteras or Dhantrayodashi should be done during Pradosh Kaal which starts after sunset and approximately lasts for 2 hours and 24 minutes.
We don’t advise to choose Choghadiya Muhurat to perform Dhanteras Puja as those Muhurtas are good only for travelling. The best time for Lakshmi Puja on Dhanteras is during Pradosh Kaal when Sthir Lagna prevails. Sthir means fixed i.e. not moveable. If Dhanteras Puja is done during Sthir Lagna, Lakshmiji will stay in your home; hence this time is the best for Dhanteras Pujan. Vrishabha Lagna is considered as Sthir and mostly overlaps with Pradosh Kaal during Diwali festivity.
We provide exact window for Dhanteras Puja. Our Muhurat times contain Pradosh Kaal and Sthir Lagna while Trayodashi is prevailing. We provide Muhurat based on location, hence you should select your city first before noting down Shubh Dhanteras Puja timings.
Dhantera Puja is also known as Dhantrayodashi. The day of Dhanteras is also observed as Dhanwantari Triodasi or Dhanvantri Jayanti, the birth anniversary of the God of Ayurveda. Yamadeep is another ritual on the same Trayodashi Tithi when the lamp for the God of death is lit outside home to ward off any untimely death of any family members.

Lord Dhanvantari is considered to be an incarnation of Narayana. He is considered the father of medicine. It is believed that Lord Dhanvantari was born during the churning of the sea on the Trayodashi date of the month of Kartik or Krishna Paksha.

Why are pots, brooms and gold-silver bought?
Reasons to buy a broom:
The broom is called the form of Lakshmi because it cleans the dirt of the house. Dirt is considered poor and where Dirt is hoti, there is no Lakshmi. That’s why people come with brooms on Dhanteras day. One day before Diwali ie Narak Chudas, the house is cleaned with a broom and the poor are removed. After this, the house is decorated beautifully to prepare for the arrival of Goddess Lakshmi. And on the day of Diwali, he is duly worshipped.
Reasons for buying pots:
It is said that when Lord Dhanvantari appeared during the churning of the ocean, he had a brass urn in his hand. This day is the day to worship Lord Dhanwantari, so people used to buy brass utensils on this day to be a recipient of his grace. But with the passage of time, the circulation of brass utensils stopped and the circulation of steel utensils started. So today people follow the practice of buying utensils, but mostly they buy steel utensils.
