Rakhi – An Inseparable bond between Sister and Brother

The full moon day of the Shravana month, which is considered to be the Holy Month according to the Hindu calendar, is celebrated as Raksha Bandhan in India. Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi is a festival that celebrated the bond of love and care between brothers and sisters. Raksha Bandhan literally means the bond of protection. On thesaurus picious day, a sister ties a thread of Rakhi on her brother's wrist which symbolizes her love and affection for her brother whereas for the brother, it is a promise to protect his beloved sister. It is ironic how the delicate and frail thread of Rakhi is considered to be stronger than anything else and a simple thread ties a knot of strength and is a reflection of the inseparable bond of love and trust between siblings.




Since so many of Indians have moved to other countries, this festival has reached all across the world and no matter how far one is, through easy means of online portals, one can easily send Rakhi to UK, send Rakhi to USA or wherever the siblings are. As easy as it is for one to send Rakhi, it is as simple to send Rakhi gifts as well. Choose for your bhaiya - bhabhi, a fancy Rakhi and send across the globe with ease.
The Indian Calendar is full of festivals, which bring festive joy, zeal and enthusiasm. These mainly celebrate a sense of oneness and togetherness as one gets together with family and loved ones. These festivals also bring with them exchange of gifts and sweets, singing, dancing and celebrations.
