One of the traditions around Dhanteras involves purchasing gold and silver jewellery and utensils made of brass and copper.

Many people also seize the day to purchase new kitchen appliances, perhaps something they have always wanted but have not invested in.

Such purchases on Dhanteras are considered auspicious and are believed to bless people with year-long prosperity and wellness.

When bringing home new utensils, it is considered auspicious to fill them with water instead of taking empty utensils inside your house.

If you are not looking to splurge, even something as small as new cutlery can be purchased to celebrate Dhanteras. Wish you good luck and prosperity!
