    Gift Giving Etiquette

    Indians believe that giving gifts eases the transition into the next life.
    It is not the value of the gift, but the sincerity with which it is given, that is important to the recipient. Yellow, green and red are lucky colors, so try to use them to wrap gifts.

    Gifts are not opened when received.
