10 Auspicious Items to Buy on Dhanteras and Their Divine Blessings for Wealth, Health & Prosperity
1. Earthen Lamps (Diyas)
What to buy: Many small clay lamps and two large ones.
Significance/Use: The word “Diwali” itself comes from “Deepak” (lamp). Lighting lamps removes negativity from the surroundings and invokes prosperity and happiness. The large lamps are used for the main worship.
Blessing: Every kind of darkness is dispelled from life.
2. Silver Item
What to buy: Any small silver item such as a toe ring, small idol, coin, or square piece.
Significance/Use: Silver is considered a pure metal symbolizing prosperity and is believed to have originated from Lord Shiva’s eyes. Offer it to Goddess Lakshmi during Diwali worship.
Blessing: There will be no shortage of wealth throughout the year.
3. Gomti Chakra
What to buy: At least 2 or 5 Gomti Chakras (white or cream-colored).
Significance/Use: This special stone is believed to remove poverty and bring stable wealth. On Diwali, apply vermilion to it and offer it at the feet of Goddess Lakshmi.
Blessing: Poverty will be removed and stable wealth will remain in the household.
4. Puffed Rice and Sugar Batasha
What to buy: Puffed rice (kheel) and sugar batasha.
Significance/Use: The white kheel and batasha represent Venus and prosperity. They are specially offered to Goddess Lakshmi in an earthen bowl. The next day, eat some before starting any important work.
Blessing: Success in every endeavor.
5. Cowries (Sea Shells)
What to buy: At least 5 or 9 cowries.
Significance/Use: Cowries symbolize wealth and attract money. On Diwali night, place them in the ghee lamp dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi. The next day, wrap them in a yellow or red cloth, hang them at the main entrance or keep them where you store money.
Blessing: Brings quick marriage prospects (if hung at the entrance) and continuous financial flow (if kept in the wealth area).
6. Conch Shell (Shankh)
What to buy: A small or large white conch shell.
Significance/Use: The conch emerges from the ocean, the same place from where Goddess Lakshmi appeared. It is considered her brother. On Diwali, purify it with water, place it near Lakshmi’s feet, and blow it three times at the end of the worship.
Blessing: The home remains filled with good fortune and prosperity.
7. Idols of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi
What to buy: Separate medium-sized clay idols — Lakshmi seated on a lotus with coins flowing from her hands, and Ganesha in a blessing posture.

Blessing: Wealth and prosperity from Goddess Lakshmi and wisdom to use that wealth rightly from Lord Ganesha.
8. Broom (Jhaadu)
What to buy: One or two natural brooms (made of grass or flowers).

Blessing: Brings good health, abundance, and freedom from financial scarcity.
9. Metal Utensil (Water Vessel)
What to buy: A metal vessel for water such as a lota, glass, jug, or kalash.
