Astrologers have announced the auspicious timing for purchasing gold, silver and other traditional items on Dhanteras 2026, guiding shoppers across India.
Dhanteras, the first day of the Diwali festival, falls on 2026-10-23 and is traditionally considered the most favorable occasion for buying precious metals and other auspicious items. Leading astrologers have identified a specific muhurat for the day, advising that purchases made within this period are especially propitious.
The recommended window aligns with the ritual puja performed this morning, after which the auspicious time for acquiring gold, silver, jewellery and even household items such as brooms begins. Retailers across major markets report a surge in footfall as shoppers follow the guidance to secure the blessings associated with the festival.
Experts note that the practice of buying brooms (jhadu) on Dhanteras is rooted in the belief that it helps sweep away financial obstacles for the coming year. While the exact start and end times of the muhurat vary by region, the consensus among astrologers is that transactions completed during the designated period are believed to bring prosperity and good fortune.
Authorities have reminded consumers to verify the authenticity of gold and silver items and to purchase from licensed dealers. The combined religious and economic significance of Dhanteras continues to make it one of the busiest shopping days in the Indian calendar.
