History behind Dhanteras

Dhanteras also celebrates the appearance of Lord Dhanvantari, the Hindu God of Medicine.

It is believed that during the mythical Samudra Manthan (the churning of the cosmic ocean) by the Devas (gods) and Asuras (demons), Lord Dhanvantari emerged from the ocean. He carried two crucial objects: a pot containing the Amrita (nectar of immortality) and an herbal flask, symbolizing life, health, and well-being.

The celebration of Dhanteras honors his emergence, emphasizing that true prosperity (Dhan) is incomplete without perfect health. Therefore, the day is dedicated to ensuring health, well-being, and freedom from disease.
