Rakhi Gifts and Festivals

Send Rakhi Gifts to India

India, being a spiritual country is known for its values and different cultures where Indians have more values for their family relationships. It is known for its different festivals, but there is one festival which is celebrated across India, by almost all the communities known as Raksha-Bandhan.

Raksha-bandhan also known as Rakhi has been celebrated as a festival of love and affection between sister and brother from a long time. Rakhi is celebrated in the month of SAVANA or SRAVANA (Gujarati month) or say in the month of July-August. This day is remembrance of love, affection, care and the feeling of brotherhood. On this auspicious day sister ties rakhi or different types of threads on the wrist of her brother and pray of his long life and prosperity. She performs this ritual by smearing on kumkum (tika) and rice particles on his forehead. In return the brother gives her an endowment and pledges to shield her lifelong. The 'rakhi' itself is made of a decorated strand to elegantly ornamented balls of assorted sizes and materials such as feathery fiber, glitters, gold, silver beads and so on. Sweets that are given on this day by a sister to her brother symbolize the sugary moments between the brothers and sisters and on this day all kinds of sweets are prepared.

In several parts of the country it is usual to make figures on the walls of their abode and worship them with offerings of vermilion and kheer, but this pooja is done before the tying of rakhi by a sister on her brother’s hand. However it is the never-ending union between brothers and sisters that cements ties between them even across continents.
