Expectation of good customer base in jewellery.
According to astrologer Pt. Purushottam Gaur, according to the scriptures, Dhanteras is considered the day of rain of wealth. This will be such an opportunity for the second time in a row that the city residents will get six days instead of five to celebrate the festival of lights.
Due to the date of Amavasya two days later in the year 2023 and the second solar eclipse of Diwali in the year 2022, Govardhan Puja was organized a day later. Every year the number of festivals increases as the date increases and decreases. This year, since the date of Amavasya is two days, the joy of the festival will last for six days.
This great coincidence is happening on Dhanteras after more than 100 years
According to Astrologer Pt. Damodar Prasad Sharma, on Tuesday, planet Mercury will enter Scorpio and will form Lakshmi Narayan Rajyoga along with planet Venus. On this day, along with Trigrahi, Tripushkar, Indra and Vaidhriti Yoga, Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra will also coincide. This great coincidence is happening on Dhanteras after more than 100 years. According to astrologers, worshiping Kuber in this yoga is considered auspicious. Tarot card reader Amrita Sharma told that some things should be kept in mind while buying brass-silver utensils, gold-silver jewelery and other purchases. It is believed that buying gold, silver or utensils brings prosperity to the family. Apart from this, to please Goddess Lakshmi, a broom should be bought on the day of Dhanteras. Broom is considered a symbol of Goddess Lakshmi. It is very auspicious to bring whole coriander. During evening puja, offer coriander to Goddess Lakshmi and Kuber Ji.
