As per religious beliefs, it is said that on the day of Dhanteras, Goddess Lakshmi came out of the ocean during the Samudra Manthan. Hence, people worship Devi Laxmi and Lord Kubera, the God of wealth, on the holy day of Trayodashi.

Traditionally, rangolis are made using rice flour, coloured powders, or flower petals, often featuring motifs like diyas, lotus, swastika, and footprints of Goddess Lakshmi. These designs are believed to ward off negative energies and attract prosperity, peace, and harmony into the home during the festive season. We wish you a very happy Dhanteras 2025!
