What Diwali (Deepawali) Signifies
Diwali is observed on the Amavasya (new moon) of Kartik month. We worship Goddess Lakshmi (prosperity), Lord Ganesha (wisdom and auspicious beginnings), and Lord Kubera (wealth management and stability). Using the right samagri with cleanliness and devotion is believed to enhance purity, good fortune, and divine blessings for the year ahead.

This festive season, Jaipur’s Swarn Prasadam—a premium, Ayurveda-inspired gold sweet priced around ₹1.11 lakh (~$1,330)—has become a conversation starter. If you’re seeking a one-of-a-kind offering or gift, it represents the blend of tradition, luxury, and wellness that many devotees look for during Diwali 2025.
