Diwali Coins

India is popularly known as the 'Land Of Festivals'. Diwali (Deepavali) is one of the biggest festivals of the Hindus, which is celebrated with lots of enthusiasm and happiness. The word ‘Deepavali’ literally translates into ‘row of lamps’ in Sanskrit. Tiny lamps of clay are lighted to drive away the shadows of ‘evil spirits’ and ‘self-enlightenment’ is expressed. On this bright day, people clean up their homes; light up innumerable diyas around their house and seek the divine blessings of the Goddess of Wealth (Lakshmi).

As an auspicious symbol, gold coins or silver coins are kept in the diwali puja thalis. A wide variety of delicious food is cooked and gifts are presented to all near and dear ones. The celebrations differ according to the various traditions and cultures of each state in India. However, the enthusiasm, fun, and joy behind the celebration remain the same. The Festival of lights is celebrated throughout India on the fifteenth day of the month Kartika (October/November). Diwali is a five-day long festival. The first day is Dhan Trayodashi, the second day-Naraka Chaturdashi, the third-Badi Diwali, the fourth day is Govardhan puja and fifth, Bhai Dooj.
