Dhanteras marks the commencement of the Diwali festival and is regarded as one of the most auspicious days for purchases, particularly of brass, silver and gold items. It is believed that buying these materials on this day invites good fortune and success, and safeguards negative influences. This year, Dhanteras is on October 29.
