AGARTALA, Oct 18 (TIWN): Residents in Agartala rush to the gold outlets to book orders ahead of the auspicious occasion of Diwali as a part of Dhanteras. Jewellers also lure customers with attractive offers during the festive season.
While speaking to TIWN Amit Roy, a jewellery shop owner, said that people are buying gold jewellery because it is believed to bring prosperity.
"Dhanteras, the name itself carries 'Dhan' (money) and 'teras' means it is an auspicious day when people can buy jewellery. Basically, it is from northern India, but nowadays from all over India people are buying jewellery on the Dhanteras auspicious occasion," said Das.
