Rakhi is a beautiful Indian festival that celebrates the sacred bond of love between siblings. The festival of Rakhi is also known as Raksha Bandhan. The word is made up of two words derived from ancient Indian Sanskrit literature. Here word "Raksha" means protection and word ''Bandhan" means "bond". Hence, this festival is dedicated to the eternal bond of love and care between brother and sister.
This festival is characterized by sister tying Rakhi on wrist of brother while praying for his happiness, long life and health whereas brother, on other hand, promising sister to give him love and protection throughout the life.
Having said that…Do we really need a special day or a dedicated festival to show our love towards our loved ones? No not really. But at the same time, it is nice to celebrate and express your love & feelings in some or the other way’s. After all, life is celebrating these little moments in simple ways.
Born in a family of four sisters, we always missed having brother in our family. Clearly remember being sad on the day of Rakhi. Always looked at that security, protection, and brotherly affection. Perhaps, not having our own real brother, have tied Rakhi’s to our kindest neighbors who cared for us like brothers, our nearby and distant cousins who loved us immensely ,our brother-in-law who acted like an older brother & even to one of a dear friend from college. And yes, the most important man in our lives, our dad -our silent & strongest protector.
But what about our own sisters. The loving, protective & ever so helpful one’s. Why not tying this beautiful thread to them? Expressing our love, telling them how special they are. After all, Rakhi is a bond between siblings, so Why not? Well, this year is going to be a different one.
A special message, a beautiful Rakhi and a lovely handcrafted hamper will be delivered to our loving sisters too. To make them smile, to make them feel special, to make them feel that we are there for each other even though we are all in different parts of the globe. To thank them for their unconditional love, support, protection, guidance, and care since childhood. Because Rakhi is a bond of pure love & affection between siblings.
However, Rakhi is incomplete without exchanging gifts between brother and sister. Here are few ideas to help you with your Rakhi gifting :
