Things you should not buy on Dhanteras

Dhanteras, a major Hindu festival celebrated with great enthusiasm, falls on November 10, 2023. While people traditionally buy new items on this auspicious day, there are a few things that should be avoided. Sharp objects, oil, plastic, iron utensils, black clothes, shoes, and glassware are believed to bring bad luck and are therefore considered inauspicious purchases on Dhanteras. It is advised to opt for metal articles instead of aluminium or plastic products.
