This year, since Dhanteras falls on a Saturday, you should avoid purchasing certain items. According to astrology, avoid purchasing iron items on Dhanteras.

 

Iron is associated with Lord Shani Dev, so iron objects should not be brought into the home on this day. Furthermore, purchasing black objects and mustard oil is also considered inauspicious. 

Be careful while buying utensils on Dhanteras.

On the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras, most people buy steel utensils. However, it's important to note that many steel utensils available in the market contain iron. This leaves many people confused about which utensils to purchase.

 

Purchasing utensils on Dhanteras is considered auspicious. Therefore, after purchasing utensils, instead of bringing them home, be sure to bring water, coriander, or sweets.

 

Additionally, since Dhanteras falls on Saturday, avoid bringing leather items into your home. If you keep these things in mind, you will receive the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi and Shani Dev this Dhanteras.
