Dhanteras Puja in Pune, known in Maharashtra as Dhanatrayodashi, is the first day of the five-day Diwali festival. It falls on the Trayodashi of Krishna Paksha in Kartik.
On this day, families worship Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Kuber, and Lord Dhanvantari, the god of Ayurveda, for wealth, health, and a stable year ahead.
The puja is performed in the evening Pradosh Kaal, and a Yama Deepam is lit outside the home. In Pune, Dhanteras has a strong business and gold-buying side.
Jewellers and traders in the Peths, Laxmi Road, and the Sarafa market treat it as a major day for new purchases and shop puja. Vaidyas, Ayurvedic clinics, and doctors across the city worship Lord Dhanvantari on this day.
Marathi families offer dhane (coriander seeds) and gul (jaggery) to Goddess Lakshmi. At the same time, a growing number of IT professionals in Hinjewadi, Kharadi, and Wakad celebrate in rented flats, often far from family elders.
