Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of India's most significant and widely celebrated festivals, both in India and among the Indian diaspora worldwide. Marking the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil, Diwali symbolises hope, renewal, and joy.
The festival typically lasts five days and is characterised by vibrant decorations, joyful gatherings, delicious feasts, and the lighting of lamps and candles, known as diyas.
One of the cherished traditions during Diwali is the exchange of gifts. This practice holds immense importance, strengthening bonds among family, friends, and colleagues. Gifting conveys affection and appreciation and fosters a sense of community and togetherness.
Exchanging gifts during Diwali holds significant importance for several reasons:
Strengthening bonds: Gifting helps reinforce relationships among family, friends, and colleagues. It serves as a gesture of love, appreciation, and goodwill, enhancing individual connections.
Symbol of Prosperity: Diwali celebrates the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Giving gifts symbolises the sharing of prosperity and happiness, reinforcing the idea of abundance and goodwill in the community.
Encouraging Generosity: Exchanging gifts encourages a spirit of generosity and selflessness. It reminds people of the importance of giving back and fostering a sense of community and support among friends and family.
