Short answer:<\/strong> On Dhanteras, many families traditionally buy gold, silver, brass or steel utensils, a new broom, or items for the home such as lamps and appliances. It is also a popular time to start home improvements, including buying paint for a festive or post-festival repaint. If you buy paint, measure your walls first, choose products for each surface, buy in larger packs to keep the shade consistent, and keep the receipt and batch details for touch-ups.<\/p><\/div>\n
