Unlike Diwali, which is celebrated on the new moon day, Dhanteras is celebrated on Trayodashi or the thirteenth day. This is the reason why it is also known as Dhan Trayodashi. Buying metals like gold, silver and copper on this day is considered auspicious.

For centuries, there has been a tradition of buying things like gold, Gomti Chakra, brass and brooms on Dhanteras. Buying these items is considered very auspicious.
