Planning to continue the tradition by buying another piece of gold jewelry: Claudia Ciesla on celebrating Dhanteras
Mumbai:Polish-born German actress and model Claudia Ciesla, who is also a celebrity nutritionist, is looking forward to celebrating Dhanteras. She believes that buying something special on Dhanteras brings good luck. She said, “I truly believe in the symbolism behind Dhanteras—it’s such a beautiful tradition that celebrates prosperity, positivity, and new beginnings. Every year, I make it a point to buy something small but meaningful. Last year, I bought a pair of gold earrings, which I cherish a lot because gold has always been considered a symbol of abundance and good fortune in Indian culture.” Asked what she is planning to buy this year, she said, “I’m planning to continue the tradition by buying another piece of gold jewelry—perhaps a delicate bracelet or ring.” Claudia shared that it’s not just about the material value but about the energy and intention behind it. She said, “Dhanteras reminds us to invest in things that hold lasting value—whether it’s gold, good health, or meaningful relationships—all of which bring true wealth into our lives.” She mentioned that over the years she has seen how Dhanteras has evolved beautifully, especially among the younger generation, and said, “Traditionally, it was about buying gold, silver, or utensils for good luck, but today, people also invest in things like gadgets, art, or even self-care products—anything that symbolizes prosperity and progress in their lives. I think the essence of Dhanteras remains the same; it’s just the expression that has become more modern.” “What’s wonderful is that people are blending tradition with contemporary lifestyle choices. Personally, I love this balance—keeping the spiritual meaning intact while adapting to modern times. Whether you buy gold or simply light a diya and express gratitude, the true essence of Dhanteras lies in welcoming abundance, positivity, and blessings into your home and heart,” Claudia concluded.
