Dhanteras 2025: What to Avoid Buying for Prosperity

Celebrating Dhanteras: Key Insights

The festival of Dhanteras is marked with enthusiasm each year, and in 2025, it will take place on October 18. Traditionally, this day is associated with purchasing new items, believed to usher in wealth and the continuous presence of Goddess Lakshmi. However, since Dhanteras falls on a Saturday this year, there are specific purchases that should be avoided to prevent displeasing planet Saturn and Shani Dev, which could lead to increased challenges in life.

Items to Avoid Purchasing

Mustard Oil: A No-Go

Pandit Manotpal Jha from Purnia advises against buying mustard oil on this Dhanteras Saturday, as it could negatively impact the positioning of Saturn in your horoscope. However, donating mustard oil is considered acceptable.

Additionally, purchasing iron items is discouraged, as it is believed to provoke Lord Shani Dev. Black items, including clothing, should also be avoided, as buying multiple items on a Saturday is seen as inauspicious.

Bringing Home Utensils

Empty Utensils are Unlucky
It is customary to buy large utensils during Dhanteras, but bringing them home empty is frowned upon. If you acquire a pot, pitcher, or vase, ensure to fill it with sweets or coriander seeds before bringing it home, as empty vessels are considered unlucky on this day.

Avoid Leather Goods

On this auspicious day, refrain from purchasing leather items or shoes. Since Dhanteras coincides with Saturday, buying leather goods is discouraged due to their association with Saturn, which could lead to the displeasure of Shani Dev.
