About Dhanvantri (Dhana) Jayanti

Dhanteras marks the first day of the five-day Diwali festival.

The day celebrates the emergence of Lord Dhanvantari (the God of Ayurveda) from the cosmic churning of the ocean, holding a pot of the divine nectar of immortality (Amrit).

Vrat Vidhi & Fasting Rules

Devotees worship Lord Dhanvantari for health and Lord Yama to prevent premature death.

Step-by-Step Fasting Procedures:
  • Purchase gold, silver, or new utensils as a sign of bringing 'Dhan' (wealth) into the home.
  • Perform 'Yama Deepam' in the evening: Light a large four-wick earthen lamp filled with sesame oil outside the main entrance, facing South.
