Ajmer, Rajasthan, saw an extraordinary surge of shoppers on Dhanteras 2026 as people converged on the city’s traditional jewellery and utensil markets. The festive day, considered auspicious for buying gold, silver and household items, prompted crowds to line the narrow lanes of the market districts from early morning.
Vendors reported an unusually high footfall, with stalls displaying a wide range of gold ornaments, silver coins and brass or steel kitchenware. The demand was driven by the cultural belief that purchasing these items on Dhanteras brings prosperity and health for the coming year.
Local authorities deployed additional traffic personnel to manage the flow of vehicles and pedestrians, ensuring safety amid the dense crowds. Shops extended their operating hours to accommodate the influx, and the atmosphere was described as lively yet orderly.
The rush reflected both the deep-rooted traditions associated with Dhanteras and the growing consumer confidence in the region’s retail sector. Market officials anticipate a similar pattern for the upcoming festive season, underscoring Ajmer’s role as a key shopping hub in Rajasthan.
