Dhanteras (Dhantrayodashi) opens the five days of Diwali on the Trayodashi of Kartika Krishna paksha. Lakshmi and Kubera are worshipped at Pradosh Kaal, a lamp for Yama is lit at the door, and it is the busiest day of the year for buying gold, silver, utensils and vehicles. It is also National Ayurveda Day, the birth anniversary of Dhanvantari.
