Jaipur : Dhanteras day is considered special to get the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.

Do not leave the house empty on Dhanteras evening
If you are going for shopping on the evening of Dhanteras, then remember that all the members of the house should not leave the house empty but it is very important for some member to stay in the house. There is a mythological belief that on Dhanteras, Mata Lakshmi arrives in the house in the evening, in such a situation, seeing the house locked or in an empty house, Mata Lakshmi will never reside.
Do not close the door completely on the evening of Dhanteras.
On the evening of Dhanteras, Goddess Lakshmi comes to roam the earth, hence do not close the door completely for her arrival, rather do not close the door of the house in the evening, keep it slightly open, as if you are visiting someone. Be waiting for arrival.
Don’t forget to light a lamp at the main entrance of the house in the evening.
Don’t forget to light a lamp outside the main entrance of the house in the evening. Even if there is darkness at the main entrance, you may remain deprived of the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, hence keep paddy or rice at both the corners of the main entrance and light a lamp there. Mother Lakshmi is pleased with this.
Do not give anything to anyone in the evening on Dhanteras.
You must donate on Dhanteras but do not give anything to anyone in the evening, especially you should avoid lending to anyone. At the same time, if someone comes to the door early in the morning to ask, do not let him go empty handed. Donating during the day on Dhanteras is considered auspicious, whereas giving something in the evening leads to financial loss.
Do not blow conch in the evening
Conch should not be blown on Dhanteras or any other day after sunset. The sound of conch shell is not considered auspicious in the evening. Especially do not blow the conch on Dhanteras, otherwise you will not get the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Lakshmi gets angry and returns back.
Do not let garbage accumulate at the door of the house
During Diwali cleaning, people often fill the garbage in bags and keep it on the stairs or outside, but you should not allow garbage to accumulate at the main entrance of the house on the evening of Dhanteras. On the morning of Dhanteras, clean the house thoroughly and remove the garbage from the main entrance.
