DJ Rink Shares Her Dhanteras Message on Prosperity Beyond Wealth

From being an MBA graduate with a marketing background to making a name for herself in the music industry, DJ Rink's journey has been driven by passion and determination. With over 20 years of experience, more than 2,400 performances and shows across 20-plus countries, she has established herself as one of India's prominent female DJs. Having worked in an industry traditionally dominated by men, she has carved her own space through years of hard work and dedication. This Dhanteras, she opens up about the significance of the festival, her belief in its traditions and how she looks at prosperity beyond material wealth.

Talking about what the festival means to her, DJ Rink says, "Dhanteras means a lot to me. It's a reminder to pause and be grateful for what the year has given me, and to welcome in more of the same. Prosperity isn't only about money. It's about good health, good people, and the energy to keep creating. I feel festivals like these give us an opportunity to take a break from our busy schedules and appreciate the little things that often go unnoticed. For me, it is also about being thankful for the journey so far and looking forward to new experiences."

Sharing whether she believes in the tradition of purchasing something on Dhanteras, she says, "I do believe in the tradition. Marking the day with a purchase feels like setting an intention. For me, it's usually something small and meaningful, like a bit of gold or silver, or something that goes back into my craft, whether that's gear for my music or something for my home. Whatever I buy, I want it to carry good energy. I don't think the value of the purchase matters as much as the thought and feeling behind it. It's about welcoming positivity and abundance into your life."

Talking about her plans for the occasion, DJ Rink adds, "We do a puja at home. And since music is my life, I will also be thinking about what I want to create in the year ahead."
