We are all anticipating Diwali, which is coming up soon. The majority of Hindu households love to acquire gold during this festival season. This has spiritual significance since purchasing gold during the festival of Diwali is comparable to inviting Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, into one's home.

Aside from jewellery, coins are the most common way to buy gold during Diwali. Goddess Saraswati, Lord Ganesha, and Goddess Lakshmi are all etched on gold coins. In India, unique Diwali gold coins with the Goddess Lakshmi inscribed on one side and her symbol Shri embossed on the other are produced.

Sindoor and pure Ghee are used to attach the just-purchased gold coin to the navel of Goddess Lakshmi during the Lakshmi Puja ritual. During the Diwali celebration, the two lucky days to buy gold are Pushya Nakshatra and Dhanteras.
