Dhanatrayodashi, popularly known as Dhanteras, signifies the beginning of the Diwali festivities in Hindu tradition. The evening celebration, known as Lakshmi Puja, is, however, marked by the lighting of diyas (earthen lamps).
Devotees sing devotional songs, or bhajans, in praise of Goddess Lakshmi and offer traditional sweets as part of the rituals.
