Millions of Indians across the globe are celebrating the festival of Dhanteras 2025. Mostly celebrated by the Hindu community, Dhanteras is an extremely auspicious time of the year to buy gold, silver, and other valuables. It is an age-old ritual which is believed to bring prosperity and good fortune. Astrologers have shared the Shubh Muhurat to make your gold & silver purchases on Dhantrayodashi.

Dhanteras 2025 Gold Buying Muhurat

According to Drik Panchang, the Dhantrayodashi Muhurat to buy gold and silver begins at 12:18 PM on October 18 and continues until 6:10 AM on October 19, providing a long 17-hour, 52-minute window for shoppers. This subh muhurat is ideal for buying gold coins, jewellery, silver utensils, and even precious investments like silver bricks or gold bars.

Astrologically, the Trayodashi Tithi aligns with Pradosh Kaal and Vrishabha Kaal, both of which are considered ideal for Dhanteras shopping. Pradosh Kaal (5:48 PM to 8:20 PM) is the time period around sunset, which is an important timing for Lakshmi Puja, while Vrishabha Kaal (7:16 PM to 9:11 PM) is when the Taurus zodiac, ruled by Venus, the planet of luxury and wealth, is active. Performing purchases or puja during this period is said to multiply blessings.

The Choghadiya Muhurat, or smaller time slots within the auspicious window, is the most favourable to make financial decisions or purchases. Here are the timings as per Drik Panchang.

Afternoon Muhurat (Chara, Labha, Amrita): 12:18 PM to 4:30 PM is ideal for new beginnings, financial transactions, and gold buying.

Evening Muhurat (Labha): 5:59 PM to 7:30 PM is best for buying jewellery or silver items for Lakshmi Puja.

Night Muhurat (Shubha, Amrita, Chara): 9:02 PM to 1:36 AM (Oct 19) is perfect for investment-related purchases such as gold coins, bars, or property.

Early Morning Muhurat (Labha): 4:39 AM to 6:10 AM (Oct 19)

Significance of Buying Gold on Dhanteras

Buying gold and silver on Dhanteras is a sacred Hindu tradition which symbolises wealth & prosperity. It is believed that purchasing metal items on this day pleases Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Lord Dhanvantari, who is worshipped for good health. Even a small gold or silver coin purchased during Dhanteras subh muhurat is said to attract fortune throughout the year.
