Dhanteras is associated with Krishna Paksha Trayodashi. Alongside Lakshmi and Kubera worship, families remember Dhanvantari. The Bhagavatam describes his appearance during the churning of the ocean carrying the nectar pot.
Must I buy gold?

A simple celebration at home
Prepare a clean prayer space and follow your household practice for lighting a lamp and praying. Wish for everyone’s well-being. Ask an elder or priest for guidance on your particular puja tradition.
