## About Dhanteras

Dhanteras opens the five-day Diwali festival. It honours Lord Dhanvantari, the god of health, and Kuber, the keeper of wealth. It is considered one of the most auspicious days of the year to buy gold, silver, utensils and new things for the home.

## How the date is decided

Dhanteras falls on Krishna Trayodashi of Kartika (purnimanta), two days before Diwali. In 2027 it falls on Wednesday, 27 October 2027.
