Don’t have money to buy gold and silver?
During a conversation with Local 18, Shakuntala Belwal, astrologer of Shiv Shakti Astrology and Vastu Center located in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, said that according to tradition, purchasing of gold, silver, utensils and vehicles on the day of Dhanteras is considered auspicious. But not everyone is able to buy these expensive things. In such a situation, there is no need to worry, because some such simple and cheap things have also been described in our scriptures, by purchasing which Goddess Lakshmi is pleased and wealth resides in the house. Those things are turmeric, black turmeric and small utensils like spoon, bowl, or glass. These four items will be available for less than Rs 200.
Turmeric is the symbol of Goddess Lakshmi.
Astrologer Shakuntala Belwal told that turmeric is considered a symbol of Goddess Lakshmi. It is a symbol of auspiciousness and prosperity and buying it pleases Goddess Lakshmi. Purchasing turmeric maintains economic prosperity in the house. Apart from this, black turmeric also has special importance. It is considered especially auspicious for good luck and increase of wealth. Mother Lakshmi is pleased by purchasing black turmeric on the day of Dhanteras and it is considered helpful in maintaining wealth in the house. If it is not possible to buy big utensils, then you can buy small utensils like spoon, bowl, or glass. These small utensils are also considered auspicious, and they bring happiness and prosperity in the house. These metals are considered sacred and bringing them into the house brings positive energy and peace.
