Dhanteras Puja Remedies: This year, Dhanteras (Dhanteras 2025), the most auspicious day before Diwali, is bringing a wonderful and rare coincidence. Trayodashi date of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month, which is celebrated as Dhanteras, is falling this time on 18 October 2025, Saturday. Due to Trayodashi Tithi being on Saturday, it is also creating an auspicious coincidence for Shani Pradosh Vrat (Shani Pradosh Vrat 2025). According to astrology, Lakshmi, Kuber and Lord Dhanvantari are worshiped on Dhanteras, while Shani Pradosh Vrat is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Shani Dev. The coming together of these two holy dates is very auspicious, which is providing a golden opportunity to the devotees to earn double the profit.
Why is this coincidence so special?
Dhanteras (Dhan Trayodashi): On this day, Lord Dhanvantari appeared from the churning of the ocean with the nectar pot. This day is considered to be a day of wealth, health and prosperity. Shopping on this day and worshiping Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, Kubera, the god of wealth, and Dhanvantari, the god of health, is extremely auspicious.
Shani Pradosh fast: This fast is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati. When this fast falls on Saturday, it is called ‘Shani Pradosh’. On this day, along with worshiping Lord Shiva, special blessings of Shanidev are also received. This is considered to be the best day to reduce the negative effects of Shani Dosh, Sadesati and Dhaiya.
Rare Benefits: Due to this rare coincidence, in a single day you will receive the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi and Kubera (for wealth and prosperity), the blessings of Lord Dhanvantari (for good health), and the blessings of Lord Shiva and Shanidev for relief from troubles and removal of defects.
