The tradition of exchanging Diwali gifts started with the origin of the festival. As Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya, the enthusiasm of the people was so much that they wanted to share it with others. Not just they exchanged gifts amongst each other but presented best of gifts to Lord Rama and his entire family too. It was a mode of expressing their sentiments towards their favorite King. At that point of time, the gifts consisted of farm products or home made sweets. But with time changed their types and forms.
Almost a month before the eve of Diwali, shopkeepers offer heavy discounts.
