Dhanteras wishes with your name
Dhanteras is on Friday, 6 November this year, two days before Diwali. Here are wishes to send in English, Hindi and Hinglish, and how to make a card with your own name engraved on it, in about a minute.
Your family, your own name, or your business.
What Dhanteras is
Dhanteras, or Dhantrayodashi, opens the five days of Diwali. That evening families buy something new of metal for the home, a brass or copper vessel, a gold or silver coin, and in many homes a handful of coriander seeds, and light a diya at the door after dusk. It is a day for good health as well as wealth: Dhanvantari, held to be the god of Ayurveda, is remembered on it too.

Put your own name on the card
Kalash, the Dhanteras card, engraves your name on a new brass kalash heaped with gold coins, the way a vessel shop engraves a family's name on a new vessel.
When your guest opens the link, three coins drop into the kalash, the diya's light runs along your name, and a glint crosses the brass.
Made in a minute
- Type your name and choose a design. Type your name as it should read: your family ("The Sharma family"), your own name, or your business, with "From" before it or not. Then choose a design and a colour; every card shows your name.
- Keep our message or write your own, in English, Hindi or Hinglish. The card's greeting follows its language: "Happy Dhanteras" or "शुभ धनतेरस". Add a family photo or your business logo if you like, a phone number for a business, and whether the card shows how often it has been opened.
- Create and send it. You sign in once, with an email code or Google, so only you can delete it later. Then send the card's link on WhatsApp, and post its pictures to your status or stories.
Send it on WhatsApp
- Your card's link: the share page gives it to you with buttons for WhatsApp and Telegram. In the chat, the preview shows your own card, and the link opens the whole card on any phone, with no app to install.
- Pictures to save and post: tap Make the pictures on the share page, then save each one: a square picture for chats and groups, and a tall one for your WhatsApp status or Instagram story.
- Instagram: send the link in a message and post the tall picture to your story.
For a jeweller or any business
- Your business's name is engraved on the kalash, and your logo hangs from its neck on a brass tag.
- A phone number, if you add one, goes under the message.
- One link for every customer: send the same link to all of them.
Diwali and Bhai Dooj, too
Diwali follows on Sunday, 8 November, and Bhai Dooj on Wednesday, 11 November, each with its own cards that carry your name.
