The festive season has kicked off with Dhanteras, or Dhantrayodashi, being celebrated today, on Friday, November 6, 2026. The day is considered auspicious, and buying precious metals like gold, silver, or utensils is especially auspicious, symbolising lasting prosperity. It is considered to be one of the biggest days, boosting sales manyfold in sectors like jewellery, real estate, electronics, and automobiles. That is why many people also visit banks to complete finance-related work. If you plan to visit the bank for important work on Dhanteras, be sure to check whether banks are open first. According to the Reserve Bank of India’s holiday list, banks across the country will remain open on Dhanteras.
