Dhan Teras

It comes two days before the festival day of Deepawali, on the day of “Teras” according to Hindu Calender. Devotees take a silver coin of Shree Lakshmi Ji and Shree Ganesh Ji to the “Guru Sthaan”. This coin is blessed and given back to them. Lakshmi Ji is the goddess of fortune and beauty. Ganesh Ji is the God who grants Luck and protects from evil. This blessed coin is auspicious to bring good luck and fortune to the devotees throughout the year. The coins are worshipped for 41 days starting from the day of “Maha-Lakshmi Pooja” (Deepawali). The coins have to be adorned with a “Tilak” everyday during these 41 days. After the completion of the 41 day “Pooja”, the coins can be kept in a safe place and can also be used for the same “Pooja” in the years to follow.
