FAQ:
- What should you not give for Diwali?
Diwali, or Deepavali, is a traditional celebration of Hindus everywhere and a perfect time for them to catch up with friends and family.
If you’re thinking of wanting to join in on the celebrations by giving them a gift, here are some items you should never give for Diwali, and why:
1. Clocks, timepieces, or any similar decorations
It is believed that, according to Vastu, gifts such as clocks or water clocks are not suitable as they will misguide the people who have received such gifts from the correct path.
These sorts of pieces are usually chosen after careful consideration and consultation by the family or individual, so take care and avoid giving them these on Diwali.
2. Handkerchiefs
Not just on Diwali, but on any occasion, handkerchiefs are not a suitable gift.
This is because handkerchiefs are considered a symbol of sorrow and something to wipe away tears, which means gifting one to someone is akin to giving them negativity.
3. Sharp objects
Giving sharp objects is alike to giving someone bad luck, so anything like scissors or blades should be avoided as gifts during Diwali.
4. Anything in the colour black
It is advised to avoid giving gifts in the colour black, as it is said to be a colour that drains Lakshmi (Goddess of Wealth & Fortune), hence why you should not give any items such as clothing or accessories in black.
- What Is the Best Gift for Deepavali?
- Diwali or Deepavali is synonymous with lots of bright, beautiful colours, and this translates to its gifts as well. Lucky us, there are a variety of gifts we can gift to others for Deepavali.
- From homemade snacks and candies to chocolates and assorted nuts, it’s almost impossible for you to find a suitable gift or hamper.
- In general, food gifts are commonly given & they mostly contain sweets because they symbolise happiness.
- Therefore, as a safe gift option, it is almost customary for friends and families to gift Indian snacks and sweets during Deepavali.
