pageant of wealth, Dhanteras. On nowadays, it's far customary for each person
to buy utensils to honor Dhanvantri, the God who emerged from the sea at some
point of the Samudra Manthan (churning of the sea).
The ladies in Bihar, begin the day with a bath after which
prayers, worshipping Lakshmi and Dhanvantri. They fast for the whole of the
day, and break their fast at the nighttime with puris and Indian goodies, after
the sun has set. The culture to shop for utensils on Dhanteras is due to the
faith that Dhanvantri changed into carrying “Amrit” in a pot whilst he
materialized from the ocean. In Bihar, its nearly obligatory for the natives to
buy utensils in this day.
