As the D-Day for Diwali draws near, one can already feel an electric energy of excitement fill the air.
A popular festival in India, Diwali is also referred to as the Festival of Lights.
Celebrated with passionate enthusiasm and fervour by all, roads and houses are brightly lit with coloured lights of varied hue, and of course, with the traditional diyas.
According to legend, the people of Ayodhya welcomed Rama home from exile by lighting rows of lamps (diyas), thus giving birth to the name - Diwali.
The exact day of the festival is never constant and is usually decided by the position of the moon.
According to the Hindu calendar, Amavasya in the month of November is usually considered the perfect day to celebrate Diwali.
There are a number of iconic traditions that have become synonymous with Diwali celebrations, with firecrackers and fireworks lighting up the silent night sky on the eve of Diwali, being the most popular.
Though, the real heart of the festival lies in the simple and thoughtful exchange of mouth-watering sweets and gifts amongst family and friends.
Traditionally, members of each household come together and prepare special Diwali flowers, sweets and delicacies, which they then distribute to near and dear ones.
However, hectic schedules are slowly making premium gifting sites a more convenient and popular choice.
Besides offering the finest customary range of special sweets and gifts, they also offer other unique and customized gifting options to show your loved ones just how much they mean to you, such as exquisitely gorgeous bouquets hand crafted by exclusive master florists.
From sweets, chocolates, floral arrangements and greeting cards, for both children and grown ups, there is something for everyone.
An occasion of love, bonding and, more often than not, great pomp and extravagance, send Diwali gifts to make those special people in your life feel extra-special.
