Come, let us know everything about it-
When and why is Dhanteras celebrated?
It is contained in the Sanatan Shastras that due to the mistake of Indra Dev in ancient times, the heavenly world became devoid of Lakshmi. At that time the demons attacked heaven and took over. Then Lord Vishnu advised the gods to churn the ocean. The gods churned the ocean with the help of demons. 14 gems were obtained from the churning of the ocean. These also include Vish, Apsara Rambha, Airavat elephant, Kamdhenu cow. Along with this, Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, was also born. At the same time, Lord Dhanvantari, the father of Ayurveda, also appeared with a Kalash. According to Panchang calculations, Lord Dhanvantari appeared on the Trayodashi date of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. For this, Dhanteras is celebrated every year on the Trayodashi date of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. On this auspicious occasion, special worship of Lord Dhanvantari is done.
