Dhanteras 2020 Laxmi Puja Vidhi, Muhurat, Time, Samagri, Mantra, Rituals: The first day of the five-day Diwali rituals is known as Dhantrayodashi or Dhanteras. People worship the God and Goddess of Wealth, Lakshmi and Kubera, because they believe that on that day she emerged from the ocean during the milk shake. Lakshmi puja on amavasya, two days after Dhantrayodashi, is considered important and is observed as Diwali.

According to Drik Panchang, Dhantrayodashi falls on November 13, 2020 this year, which is Friday. Dhanteras muhurat puja is between 05:28 pm and 05:59 pm. According to Panchang, Lakshmi Puja in Dhanteras or Dhantrayodashi should be performed during Pradosh Kaal. This starts after sunset and lasts 2 hours and 24 minutes.

Devotees who do Lakshmi puja two days after Dhantrayodashi usually wake up early and pay tribute to their ancestors. Some even choose to fast. As is customary, the houses are cleaned and decorated with flowers. Preparations for the puja involve placing a red cloth on the right side of a raised platform. On this, the idols of Lakshmi and Ganesha are installed and decorated with fine clothing. After this, a white cloth should be placed on the left side of the platform. The Navgraha gods are installed here.
