Diwali is a festival associated with prosperity, happiness and well-being. On this day, people pray to Goddess Lakshmi for a healthy and prosperous life. Giving gifts to our close friends and relatives is another ritual which takes place during Diwali. Most times, due to ignorance, we often gift some things which become an omen of bad luck for you and your close friends. It leads to a financial crisis. Sour items like lemon and pickles should not be purchased before Diwali or on the day of Diwali. Goddess Lakshmi may get angry and you may have to face a financial crisis. Wearing or buying black clothes during Diwali will have a negative effect. Let’s take a look at the items which should not be gifted during the festival.
Watches
Do not gift watches to anyone on Diwali. The watch is a symbol of passing time which shows how life is getting shorter with time. Diwali is a festival of enjoying the present and brightening the future. Gifting a watch on this occasion is not considered right. Apart from this, it is believed that gifting a watch transfers negativity, which is neither right for you nor for the person to whom you are gifting it.
Black clothes
Diwali festival is the festival of victory of light over darkness. On this festival, preparations are made to welcome Goddess Lakshmi by decorating houses with lights and making colourful rangoli. It is also advised to avoid black things at this festival. In such a situation, on this special occasion, neither should one wear black clothes nor should one gift black clothes to anyone.
No sharp object
Generally, one should never give any sharp object like a knife and scissors as a gift; and especially on the occasion of Deepawali, do not give such objects as a gift to anyone even by mistake. Apart from this, one should also avoid buying any sharp objects on the occasion of Dhanteras.
Do not gift footwear
If you are planning to gift your favourite designer footwear to a friend or special family member on Diwali, then stop for a while. Doing this is neither good for you nor for the person receiving the gift. According to religious beliefs, gifting shoes and slippers to someone on the occasion of Diwali destroys the happiness and peace of the house and can also lead to financial crises in the house.
