Diwali is the Hindu festival, which celebrates the victory of good over evila and, symbolizes how light takes over dark forces. The now familiar story of Diwali is full of Miracles and myths revolving around the many Indian gods and goddesses. The 1 billion people of this country boast of as many Gods, so it is fair to say that Indians are a devotional lot with a big heart. In giving them a gift, the emotional message of the gift is more important than its material value.

Ganesha Motifs
An integral part of Diwali rituals and traditions is Lord Ganesha. So why not present the blessings of Lord Ganesha to your loved ones this Diwali in the form of Ganesha brass bells. These exquisite Ganesha brass bells carry the bejeweled carved image of Lord Ganesha at the center. These Ganesha brass bells can be hanged on the doors or walls to welcome gracefully the positive vibes on this festive occasion. Alternatively you can also choose to gift a small silver or gold Ganesha idol, as it is considered to be a most auspicious gift almost like a Hindu lucky charm
Lakshmi On A Lotus
It is a tradition to commemorate Goddess Lakshmi on the eve of Diwali through the means of Lakshmi Puja. So go ahead and gift the idol of Goddess Lakshmi seated on a lotus flower to your loved ones this Diwali, so that they can also get a beautiful and graceful picture of Goddess Lakshmi and can honor her in their own ways. Since Lakshmi is the Goddess of Wealth and prosperity, it is considered a very propitious gift. Giving an idol of Goddess Lakshmi is like blessing someone with endless success and happiness.
Silver and Gold Coins
It is common practice for Hindu families to exchange gold coins with one another, they are one of the most traditional devotional gifts. Since these coins usually have the image of Lakshmi or Ganesha on them, they are considered extremely lucky and are placed at the feet of the idols during the Diwali Puja. Usually weighing about 10 grams, these coins end up like family heirlooms as they are passed on from one generation to the other.
Ram Durbar
One of the most devotional gifts, this one is meant to be placed right in the family temple. It depicts the sculpted images of Lord Rama, Sita and Lakshman along with the monkey chieftain Hanuman who is kneeling at the feet of Lord Rama. These Ram Durbars are available in different sizes and shapes. Buy a brass one, as it is not only affordable but will also last longer and look grand in the family temple.
Thali and Silver Utensils
It is considered auspicious to gift Thalis and utensils, as it is part of Diwali customs to purchase these things anyways. The wide variety of Thalis available these days range from the ornate to the simple brass ones. Pick a brass one with Rajasthani motifs for its unparalleled excellence. If you buy utensils for someone, make sure they are silver.
