Why is it Auspicious to Buy Gold on Dhanteras 2022?

Dhanteras is considered favorable for purchasing gold and silver because it represents wealth and prosperity. The Hindus see this day as extremely important and significant.

To understand why Dhanteras is considered as an auspicious day to buy gold and silver let us go back in time to our Hindu mythology.

According to legend, King Hima’s daughter-in-law shielded her son from the God of Death, Yamraj. In the shape of a snake, he crept into the room. At the door, King Hima’s daughter-in-law placed gold jewellery, silver money, and diyas. This was an attempt to prevent the snake from entering. The jewellery and diyas glistened brightly, blinding the snake. This invalidated the king’s son’s prediction that he would die on the fourth day of his marriage. Since then it is believed that buying gold and silver on Dhanteras will keep evil and death away. Moreover, people also believe that buying gold and silver on Dhanteras will bring prosperity and wealth to their lives. 

To obtain Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings, gold is kept in puja and archana. To ward off any early death in the family and spread light and happiness, Yamadeep initiated a custom of lighting a lamp outside the house.
