Happy Dhanteras to all of you . Diwali festivities will commence with Dhanteras on Friday, October 28. Dhanteras is of great importance because three significant legends are associated with the auspicious day.
Dhanteras literally means dhan+ teras (wealth and 13th day). This is because the day falls on the thirteenth Krishna Paksha day in the Hindu month of Kartik.
