Dhanteras 2024: Dhanteras has very special significance in Hindu religion. This festival is celebrated every year on the Trayodashi date of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. On this day, Lord of wealth Kuber, Mother Lakshmi and Lord Dhanvantari are worshipped. There is also a tradition of purchasing gold and silver jewelery on this day.
If you are also planning to buy gold and silver jewelery on Dhanteras, then definitely check its purity. These days, fake gold and silver are being sold in the markets. Therefore, while shopping, it is very important to check whether the gold is real or fake.
Let us tell you that gold and silver are tested through skin test and melt test. If 91.6 percent purity is found in the skin and stitches of the jewellery, then it is given the status of hallmark. If this is not the case, such jewelery is considered adulterated. Whether gold and silver is real or fake can be identified very easily through a smartphone.
First of all, go to Google Play Store and install the BIS mobile app. Check the authenticity of the jewelery by entering its AQUID number on the app. For additional information to the purity of gold and silver, customers can visit the official website of BIS www.bis.gov.in.
Trayodashi Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month will start from 10:31 am on 29th October and will end on 30th October at 1:15 pm. The auspicious time for purchasing gold and silver will be from 10:31 am on Tuesday, October 29 to 6:32 am on October 30.
