This year's note
Dhanteras (Dhanatrayodashi) is Kartik Krishna Trayodashi — Friday, 6 November 2026 — the first day of the five-day Diwali cluster. Families buy gold, silver, utensils or a broom, worship Dhanvantari and Kubera, and light the Yama deepam at the threshold after sunset. Johari Bazaar in Jaipur and the bullion lanes of Jodhpur keep late hours.
Pradosh kaal after sunset is the classical window for the Lakshmi-Kubera puja and the Yama lamp; shopping follows the day's shubh choghadiya. Both move with the city's sun times, so Jaipur and Bikaner will not match to the minute.
Open your city panchang for 6 November for sunset, the pradosh window, rahu kalam and the amrit or labh choghadiya before you buy.
Lamp and purchase
Dhanteras is two days before Diwali. Lamp and Dhanvantari remembrance in pradosh. Check Rahu kalam before gold or utensils — a GOOD choghadiya is better.
