Regional Celebration of Rakhi in India

Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu brother-sister festival celebrated by all siblings of all ages. Those who do not have brothers and sisters celebrate the same with cousins or those they consider as their siblings. The ritual is that sister prays for the prosperity and wellbeing of her brother (and his family in later years) and ties a band on the wrist of her brother promising and praying for all good things. Brother in return promises to protect her and stand by her through thick and thin. The festival must have come to being as a way to remind and strengthen the bond that siblings share.

Siblings as kids staying in the same house, Raksha Bandhan calls for a celebration time, full of sweets, gifts, a bit of praying and tying of Rakhi the main ritual, year after year. But as kids grow up and move out, the festival keeps them together. They come back or reach out to each other to celebrate this festival; sometimes in person, sometimes in thoughts and thanks to internet, often of late they have started sending Rakhi gifts online to brother and sister.

There are online stores that send and deliver Rakhi gifts all over the world. You can send rakhi gifts online to your sister in India or send Rakhi online to your brother wherever he may live. If he is married you can send couple Rakhi, one for him and one for his wife with a small token gift to send extra affection his way. Some of these online stores that deliver Rakhi online or rakhi gifts also offer personalized messaging service for your convenience.
