Claudia Ciesla Embraces the Spirit of Dhanteras with Gratitude and Gold

The radiant actress and wellness expert Claudia Ciesla, who has charmed Indian audiences with her grace and warmth, is gearing up to celebrate Dhanteras with the same spirit of positivity and prosperity that defines the festival. For Claudia, who hails from Poland and has made India her second home, Dhanteras isn’t just about gold and glitter—it’s about energy, intention, and gratitude.

“I truly believe in the symbolism behind Dhanteras—it’s such a beautiful tradition that celebrates prosperity, positivity, and new beginnings,” she shared warmly. “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.”

This year, Claudia plans to continue her cherished ritual by purchasing another piece of gold jewelry, possibly a delicate bracelet or a ring. For her, the act of buying gold is more than a festive custom—it’s a spiritual gesture that channels good intentions into her life. “It’s not just about the material value but about the energy and purpose behind it,” she explained. “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.”

Having spent years in India, Claudia has grown deeply fond of the country’s cultural richness. She admires how Dhanteras continues to evolve beautifully with every generation. “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,” she observed. “I think the essence of Dhanteras remains the same; it’s just the expression that has become more modern.”

For Claudia, the most heartwarming aspect of the festival is how it blends tradition with modern sensibilities. She appreciates how today’s celebrations strike a balance between spirituality and contemporary living. “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,” she said with a smile.

As the festival of light and abundance approaches, Claudia beautifully sums up her thoughts: “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.”
