Logic behind Adding One Rupee Coin in Gift Cover Everything in life has its own importance or is a matter of belief. India is a diverse country so are the people who follow different beliefs that make them stand up high among others. One such tradition that is widely seen in India is Giving One Rupee coin as a shagun. No matter how much amount you give as Shagun, it always ends on 1. It is an amount or a Shagun is given at the beginning of something. How could be something good start with a zero (as per psychological notion), so add a rupee simply, and as counting begins with one (1)? Hence, one is considered as the beginning of something good.

That is why we add one more rupee to our gift so that it can start a growth in financials, happiness and joy in your life.
