According to the Hindu mythology, on Dhanteras, devotees observe Laksmi Puja in the honour of Goddess Lakshmi. The Goddess is offered a ‘Naivaideya’ of traditional sweets consisting of dry fruits. Devotees sing devotional songs or bhajans in the praise of the Goddess. At the entrance of the house, small footprints are drawn with rice flour as well to indicate the long-awaited arrival of Goddess Lakhsmi into the house
Dhanteras celebration
On this day Lakshmi Puja is also done in the evenings when the diyas are lit. People who had not cleaned their homes for Diwali preparations could clean their homes on Dhanteras. Earthern lamps are lit near the tulsi plant as well as in front of the doorways of homes, offering it to Lord Yama. It is believed that the lighting of the deepam (earthen lamps) on the Trayodashi Tithi will help to ward off Yamaraj.
