1. Why buy Gold/ Silver on Dhanteras?
Tradition is more easily destroyed than understood. Understanding tradition needs deep humility and time, which sadly we don’t invest anymore. In case of Dhanteras, the ritual of buying gold is quite social but significant.

2. While buying gold and silver on #Dhanteras might not have been the original tradition, it has been going on for a while now and it has resulted in a state in which Indian women individually possess a sizable amount of all the gold reserves in the world.
3. This tradition alone has helped India to weather global economic recessions better than other cultures and nations. Even a poor woman with barely a roof over her head in India will often fish out some ornament for an emergency.
