Raksha Bandhan returns with all its grandeur to enliven the spirit of the relations between brothers and sisters
. The festival has a great significance in Indian culture and is celebrated by all ages, caste and religion of people with equal excitement. It is celebrated on the day of Shravan Purnima (the full moon night) which falls somewhere in the month of August every year and is due on 24th of August this year.
The traditional rituals and modern innovative trends have given the festival an ever new glory globally. Sisters wear new clothes, gems and jewelleries to look beautiful at their best and prepare a special Rakhi Thali with many auspicious elements and Rakhi Threads for brothers. They perform the ritual of worshiping for their brother and then tie the Rakhi on his right-hand wrist. This means that the brother has been bonded for the protection of his sister for ever that is what Raksha Bandhan means: a plea from sister and a promise from brother.
In fact the festival is celebrated by other members of the family as well. For example sister ties a Rakhi not only to her brother but his wife (Bhabhi) and kids, too. If your brother is also a married one then buying Rakhi only for brother wouldn't do. You will need to buy Rakhis for Bhaiya Bhabhi (couple) both. There are separate Rakhis for ladies called Lumba. You can buy them separately in the market or can buy a Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi set, but how about buying a complete Bhaiya BhabhiThali in stead?
There are many new items available in the online market and one which attracted my attention while purchasing Rakhis for brother to India is Bhaiya Bhabhi Thali. Some online Rakhi stores are offering special Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi Thalis this year, which are well decorated and full of all essential elements for Rakhi. The wonderful thing about placing your order on these online stores is that you do not have to worry about the delivery of your order in a timely manner. They do it for you. There are some good online gift stores which are sending Bhaiya Bhabhi Thalis to India on order.
