The festival of Dhanteras, which takes place two days before Deepawali, the festival of worship of Maa Lakshmi, is the day to remember Dev Vaidya Dhanvantari and Kubera, considered the treasurer of Lakshmi. The 'Dhanteras', which celebrates the Trayodashi of Krishna Paksha before Diwali, is also called 'Dhanvantari Trayodashi' and it is considered auspicious to buy anything of gold or silverware on this day. Dhanvantari and Kubera should also be worshiped along with Lakshmi Ji on the day of Dhanteras, because while Kubera is an adder of wealth and wealth, Dhanvantari is the greatest physician of the universe.
