Diwali Gift Ideas: Traditional Or Contemporary

Come October and its a time to rejoice, a time for celebrations

. Indians all over wait for celebrations and Diwali is one such occasion when India from the North to the south, from east to the west is celebrating in one spirit- the spirit of victory over the evil. The celebration for this grand festival starts two to three weeks before the onset of the festival. In fact families plan for gifts for Diwali in the beginning of the year.

Celebrations for Diwali can be traditional or contemporary. But most families and individuals like to keep the celebrations with the traditional touch thats the essence of being an Indian. The rituals during the festival vary according to region. However, offering of prayers and worshipping Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth and prosperity, and Ganesha, the remover of obstacles is common to all Hindu households. Besides spring-cleaning the house to welcome Goddess Lakshmi, Diwali is a time for gifting. People exchange gifts on Diwali as a sign of respect, love, thankfulness, appreciation and togetherness.

Gifting brings in the excitement of shopping too. Diwali gifts can be anything from chocolates, to clothes, to sweets to electronic items, toys to books. But with most families settled far and wide as nuclear families, getting together to share the joys of gifting is not always possible. Online stores are a boon in such circumstances.
