The round stamps have been affixed with a Red Swarovski Crystal. Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with great devotion all over India. People bring home murtis (Idols) of Lord Ganesha and celebrate the festival by worshiping the Lord in a special way for a day and a half, 5 days, 7 days or 11 days depending on the family tradition and commitment of each individual. On the last day of worship the idol is taken out in a colourful and musical procession to be immersed traditionally at a beach. Ganesha is the one who can remove all obstacles to success. He is the giver of fortune and can help to avoid natural calamities. Diwali is one of the most important and colourful festivals of the Hindu calendar. It is a time when charity, goodwill, family values and the love of God are celebrated and reinforced. Diwali or Divali also known as Deepavali and the "festival of lights", is an ancient Hindu festival. The festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair. Prayers are usually offered to Laxmi - Goddess of wealth and prosperity on the first day of Diwali.
