As the belief goes, the day is dedicated to the worship of Lord Ganesha, Lord Dhanvantri, Maa Lakshmi, and Kubera Ji. Furthermore, the home that is properly cleaned receives blessings of prosperity from Maa Lakshmi and Kubera Ji.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As per the Hindu calendar, the day is observed on the thirteenth lunar day of <i>Krishna Paksha<\/i>. The word <i>Dhan<\/i> reflects wealth, and <i>Teras<\/i> is for this 13th lunar day.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why is cleaning important?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While many websites may relate the cleaning process with <i>Vastu Shastra<\/i> &#8211; we won\u2019t. If I am being honest, I have no interest in that aspect &#8211; however, with no offense to those who have and can have ample of such information from the internet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coming back, cleaning every day is important. Our home is a place we inhabit, and hence keeping it polished is our way to respect it. A clean place also brings with itself a positive aura that is good for our mind and body. Having a dedicated day for this purpose gives us a chance to scrub the rare-visited parts of our house. It is also a chance to explore the things we have ourselves forgotten existed in the first place ?. (I found a muffler myself in the process this time and am excited to don during winters ?).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, time for a teeny-weeny <i>gyan<\/i>. Read the following sentence with an utmost quick pace. Cleaned sofas, home, tables, hearts, beds, cars, minds, walls, curtains, and kitchen. Now, read it slowly and see what did we miss in our cleaning process? \u263a<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes, let\u2019s do something extra to cleanse our heart and mind or go an extra step towards self-grooming. I have finally pledged to permanently let go of my nail-biting ? habit and maintain at least presentable nails. What\u2019s your pledge? ?<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Link of this day with Ayurveda<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lord Dhanvantri worshipped on Dhanteras is also the God of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ayurveda\">Ayurveda<\/a>. Hence, the Indian AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) Ministry declared this day as the National Ayurveda Day as well, with the occurrence of the first such observance in the year 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thus, apart from spreading the idea of cleanliness, the day also promotes the significance of good health. Well, in my view, the concepts are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterloc.com\/blog\/germs-are-always-waiting-for-you\/\">interrelated<\/a> to some extent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now, with a spotless home and a peaceful mind, sit back and relax. Oh no no no, get up &#8211; first, decorate your home, light up your rooms, fashion a colorful rangoli, pack the gifts, savor the sweets, light the diyas, ready a beautiful attire for the occasion, and now you may sit back and relax before jumping to other shenanigans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Clean Home, Clean <i>Hum<\/i>!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Avani Raj Arora<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dhanteras or Dhanatrayodashi marks the start of Diwali celebrations in India.
