RAKHI, a famous North Indian festival, is celebrated all over the world every year in the month of August, which is the month of festivals. The festival is celebrated in various ways in different parts of the region. On the auspicious day of Raksha Bandhan, both the brother and the sister sit face to face after performing Puja, then the sister applies a tilak to the brother’s forehead and performs aarti for him. Then the sister ties a rakhi thread on her brother’s hand for her long, healthy and happy life. Rakhi helps in warding off evil spirits and supremely protects you and strengthens the bond and everlasting love between them. The materials used to make the traditional rakhi are feather fibers and some glitter added to it. It also contains metals such as gold, silver beads, which give the thread a beauty, and a much-needed glamor since the person is going to wear it for almost a year. The brother shows his gratitude to her sister for her love and promises to protect her from all the difficulties of life. Brother and sister share sweets and spend harmonious time with the rest of the family members. Rituals are performed to the god so that he blesses both brother and sister with divine help from him.
The brother pampers his beloved sisters by giving them gifts in return. It can be some cash or gifts like jewelry, stuffed animals or dresses, etc. The sisters also show love for their brothers by showering them with gifts. Those who stay away from their siblings are helped by online courier, postal and internet services to make others feel special and want to be together on Raksha Bandhan day.
You will find a wide variety of rakhi gifts in the market that a brother gives to his sister to show his love and care for his sister. In the early days, brothers used to give cash to their sisters as a gift in return. But present day gift items are given as Rakhi return gifts. For the sisters who like jewelry, you can gift them some nice jewelry like rings, pendants, earrings, etc. For fashionista sisters mirror bags, elegant blouses, pleasant perfumes, etc. can be given away Now for the sisters who have younger brothers who are interested in playing and love sports, gift ideas like video games, toys, game CDs, etc. they will be the right choice. And the brothers who are interested in reading can be given a good reference book, novels, etc. Therefore, this festival is celebrated all over the world to reaffirm the sacred relationship of brother and sister.
