On Dhana Trayodasi, the luminous eve of Dipavali, the seers of Sanatana Dharma celebrated not mere wealth, but the birth of brilliance itself — dhana as divine radiance. From the cosmic churning of the ocean emerged Sri Laksmi, the goddess of prosperity, and Dhanvantari, the solar healer bearing the golden amṛta-kalasa. This day honors their emergence — the dawn of light, life, and healing energy.
