An altar is to be installed in the northern direction of your house. Place an idol of Lord Dhanvantari and Kuber on a platform, respectively, facing north. One ghee lamp is to be offered to Lord Kuber and another to Lord Dhanvantari. Apart from the ghee lamp, sweets are to be offered — white for Kuber and yellow for Dhanvantari. "Om Hreem Kuberaya Namah." The Dhanvantari Stotra is to be recited for the worship of Lord Dhanvantari.
Dhanteras Good Luck Tips
On Dhanteras, people make it a point to burn an earthen lamp to ward off untimely misfortune in the hands of Yama, god of death. 13 lamps are lit inside the house and 13 lamps outside the house, with special emphasis on the south direction, to attract peace and remove negativity.
