Happy Diwali

Symbolising the victory of light over darkness , Diwali is the ancient Hindu ‘ festival of lights ’ celebrated by millions of people worldwide with long established rituals including the exchange of gifts . Inspired by hallowed deities Lakshmi and Ganesha , this finely crafted pure silver medallion gilded in 24-carat gold offers a delightful way to convey best wishes to your nearest and dearest for a happy Diwali this November .
The medallion ’ s gilded reverse portrays a representation of Lakshmi sitting on a lotus flower , the symbol of enlightenment , with coins emerging from the palm of her hand . Next to her , a representation of Ganesha is sitting on a cushion while being attended by a mouse , one of his traditional mounts , who offers sweets as a symbol of generosity .
