The reason behind the tradition of buying utensils on Dhanteras…

According to the story, at the time of the churning of the ocean, when Lord Dhanwantari appeared with the "Kalash of Nectar" at the time of receiving fourteen gems, it was the Trayodashi date of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month.

That is why we celebrate the festival of Dhanteras. Lord Dhanwantari had a vase full of nectar in his hands, so there is a tradition of buying utensils on Dhanteras.

On this day people buy utensils made of silver, brass, and other metals. But buying brass utensils on this day is considered most auspicious as brass is considered to be the metal of Bhagavan Dhanvantari.

Dhanvantari lord is the god of medicine, so worshiping Dhanwantari lord on this day brings healing and good fortune. On the Dhanteras, there is also a provision for lighting lamps in the south direction.

What is the importance of lighting a lamp in the south direction?:

On Dhanteras, people also fast with lighting lamps in the south direction. On this day, worshiping Dhanvantari, Mata Lakshmi along Kubera and Yama is also important.

The story behind lighting the lamp in the south direction is that...

Once Yamdev's envoy asked Yamdev if there any way to avoid premature death, then Yamdev Ji said that the person who will keep the lamp burning in the south direction on the day of Dhanteras, then there will not be any fear of premature death.

Due to this belief, lamps are lit in the south direction on Dhanteras. The south direction is assumed to be the direction of Yama.

Why Goddess Lakshmi is worshiped with Lord Dhanvantari on Dhanteras?:

Lakshmi, one of the fourteen gems, was also revealed at the time of Samudra Manthan. Goddess Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth, so there is a provision to worship Mother Lakshmi and Kubera, the god of wealth, on Dhanteras.

Happy-Dhanteras-2020

Due to this, there is no shortage of money in the house. On Dhanteras, Goddess Lakshmi, God of wealth Kubera, and Lord Dhanwantari should worship. Because mother Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth, Kubera is the god of permanent wealth.

So Dhanvantari is the biggest Vaidya of the universe. Good wealth is achieved by their worship.
