On Festivals of Light
When lamps of Diwali are lit to welcome Sri Lakshmi, a coin of pure silver is not mere metal; it is a summons to prosperity. Wealth that is honoured with purity returns manifold. The giver gains goodwill; the receiver, fortune.
On the Union of Marriage
In the rite of marriage, where two houses join, a silver coin is both blessing and counsel. For silver stands for the nourishing power of the Divine Mother—calm, protective, ever sustaining. Such a gift is a silent wish: “May your house be filled with harmony and enduring wealth.”
The Rose in Silver
Mark also the coin where the rose is engraved. The rose, whose petals unfold like the heart in devotion, speaks of love, purity and steadfast affection. To offer such a coin is to say without words: “Let love grow, let virtue flourish.”
Counsel to the Giver
Give only hallmarked silver of true weight. Let the design bear Lakshmi-Ganesha for Diwali, or the rose for wedded bliss. A gift so chosen is not consumed in a day; it remains a treasure and a memory, and binds the receiver in gratitude.
Gold may dazzle, but silver blesses. Gifting silver coins is to sow prosperity, goodwill and lasting honour—a tradition as eternal as the festivals and unions it celebrates.
