Dhanteras Puja
Dhanteras marks the first day of Diwali and is the single most auspicious day in the Hindu calendar for wealth, prosperity, and the acquisition of gold, silver, and new possessions. The name itself reveals the purpose: Dhan means wealth, Teras means the 13th day of Krishna Paksha in the month of Kartik. On this day, Lord Kubera, the cosmic treasurer, and Goddess Lakshmi together bless all new acquisitions with permanence, prosperity, and growth. Lord Dhanvantari, the divine physician, also emerged from the cosmic ocean on this day, making Dhanteras equally auspicious for health and healing.
Families across Pune, from the trading communities of Hadapsar and Pimpri-Chinchwad to the professional households of Baner and Kharadi, mark Dhanteras with a complete puja that goes well beyond lighting a lamp. A properly conducted Dhanteras Puja consecrates your new purchases, activates your home's wealth energy for the entire coming year, and formally invites Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kubera to reside in your home.

The Significance of Dhanteras
According to the Bhavishya Purana, performing Dhanteras Puja on this night protects the family from untimely death (Akal Mrityu). Lord Yama, the god of death, is also propitiated on this day through a specific lamp ritual (Yama Deepam) that protects the family's health for the coming year. This dual blessing of wealth AND health makes Dhanteras Puja one of the most complete and powerful pujas in the entire Vedic calendar.
