Diwali- the favourite festival of many- is almost here, and I must say that I am super surprised to see people bursting with excitement and joy without bursting crackers this time. There are better ways to celebrate this brilliant festival of light that include decorating the house with lights, exchanging gifts, indulging in yummy food and sweets, going for card parties, and probably the best of all- buying gold.
Dhanteras marks the beginning of the five-day long Diwali festival and is extremely popular in North and West India. People pray to Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, for prosperity in the family on this day. It’s also considered to be an auspicious day for purchasing and worshiping precious metals like Gold.
As a child, I always accompanied my parents for the night-shopping spree. We always bought gold jewellery from our trusted jewellery shop in Delhi and I don’t think I can ever forget my mother’s joyful face when she chose gold or silver bangles and kadas, ring, necklace or earrings. But that was just one part of Dhanteras. I happily helped my parents choose candles, diyas, Kheel-Batasha, idols of Ganesh-Lakshmi, and crackers (I was small and didn’t know the severe impact crackers have on the environment and animals). I just loved the whole experience including shops that stayed open till late in the night, light and decoration all around, a sense of peace amidst the noise, and lots and lots of joy and happiness.
Gifting a gold jewel to your mother, sister, or wife can really make their Deepavali special, and I am sure seeing her/them erupt in happiness will make it special for you too. So seize this perfect opportunity and make this Diwali memorable for your loved ones. If you are oblivious of a good jeweller around you, you could explore options like Hazoorilal Jewelers and choose from their wide selection of gold jewellery. Wishing you a very happy and prosperous Diwali!
