The
five-day
long
festivities
of
Diwali
kickstart
today
(November
2,
2021)
with
Dhanteras.
Also
known
as
Dhantrayodashi
and
Dhanvantari
Trayodashi,
this
day
is
considered
to
be
auspicious
to
buy
gold
and
silver
items,
Lakshmi-Ganesha
idols,
utensils
and
other
things.
It
is
believed
that
Dhanteras
brings
luck,
prosperity,
and
wealth
to
people
and
is
celebrated
on
the
thirteenth
day
of
the
month
of
Ashwin,
two
days
before
Diwali.
Amid
the
pandemic,
while
the
Diwali
celebrations
might
be
low-key
this
year,
our
Bollywood
celebrities
made
sure
to
extend
their
heartfelt
greetings
to
fans
on
this
special
occasion.
Shilpa
Shetty
wished
fans
with
a
post
on
her
Instagram
page
which
she
captioned
as,
"As
the
Festival
of
Lights
begins...
light
up
your
lives
with
positivity,
happiness,
gratitude,
love,
and
smiles...
Happy
Dhanteras,
Happy
Diwali.
Stay
healthy,
stay
happy!🪔🙏♥️."
Hema
Malini
explained
the
importance
of
Dhanteras
in
her
post
which
read,
"Dhanteras

of

spiritual
emotional
