Dhanteras is a day of new beginnings and prosperity. While many of us focus on buying gold, silver, or utensils, let's not forget the humble broom – a symbol of Goddess Lakshmi's divine power to sweep away poverty and negativity.
In Hindu tradition, the broom (Jhadu) is more than just a cleaning tool. It's a sacred object believed to purify our homes and lives, making way for abundance and good fortune. According to myth, Goddess Lakshmi herself used a broom to cleanse Vaikunth, Lord Vishnu's abode, setting an example for us to follow.
