Let’s Explore the Complete Essence of Dhanteras 2025:-
Dhanteras 2025 Date
This year, Dhanteras will be celebrated across the country on October 18, 2025, Saturday. The Trayodashi Tithi begins at 12:20 PM on October 18 and ends at 1:52 PM on October 19, 2025.
Why Will We Celebrate on October 18?
According to religious scriptures, Dhanteras is celebrated on Udayavyapi Trayodashi. If the Trayodashi Tithi touches Pradosh Kaal on two consecutive days, then Dhanteras is observed on the second day. This year, only October 18 has Trayodashi touching Pradosh Kaal, hence the festival falls on this date.
Significance and Mythological Story
During the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan), 14 precious gems emerged. Lord Dhanvantari and Goddess Lakshmi were among these treasures. Lord Dhanvantari appeared holding a pot of nectar (Amrit Kalash), which is why this day is called Dhanteras. Since Dhanvantari is considered the physician of Gods, this day is also celebrated as National Ayurveda Day.
Significance of Lord Yama
There is a special tradition of offering lamps (Diya Daan) to Lord Yama on Dhanteras. According to scriptures, worshipping Lord Yama on this day protects from untimely death and blesses the family with good health and longevity.
