Dhanteras, also known as Dhantrayodashi, marks the beginning of the five-day Diwali festival. While Lord Dhanvantari is invoked for physical health and longevity, Lord Kubera, the celestial treasurer and lord of wealth, is worshipped for financial stability, prosperity and debt relief.
In Vedic tradition, Goddess Lakshmi provides wealth, but Lord Kubera oversees and distributes it. Chanting his sacred mantras on Dhanteras not only welcomes positive energy but also aligns the house's energetic vibration with abundance.
