Rakhis Exude Brilliance & Sophistication For Raksha Bandhan
|
|
|
Raksha Bandhan is
coming soon, and sisters around the country will be tying Rakhi to
their beloved brothers. The word Raksha Bandhan literally means
'the bond of protection'. This
festival has a deep and relevant meaning embedded in the rituals of
ancient India, symbolising the love and affection that a sister has
for her brother. This fondness is depicted in the thread tied with a
knot to a brother's right wrist, and in return, the brother promises
to protect her from harm and trouble for a life time.
Even today, the most basic Rakhi is simply a
piece of thread that is symbolic of the affection that a
sister has for her brother and the protection that it represents. A
range of stylish and elegant Rakhis are now available to appeal to the
modern generation. Various shops, stores, and stalls across the
country make it a point to stock a wide range of rakhis encompassing
many themes. |
Today, Rakhis come in a
lot of designs to appeal to the modern crowd. Today's contemporary
generation wishes to go along with the age old tradition of Rakhi albeit
with a modern look. To cater to these demands, Rakhi manufacturers have
incorporated innovation and modernism into their designs along with the
traditional glitter and shine. Rakhis such as Floral Rakhi, Silver
Rakhi, Gold Rakhi, Zari Rakhi, Pearl Rakhi, Bhaiya-Bhabhi Rakhi and
Zardosi Rakhi are widely sought after.
Zardosi Rakhi:
Zardosi Rakhis are very popular and fashionable amongst the trendy and the
elite as they incorporate traditional Zardosi work for Rakhis. Zardosi
Rakhis incorporate intricate wire designs with silk thread and fabric.
Earlier Zardosi work used intricate gold wire, however, other metals are
also used to make zardosi rakhis. Zardosi Rakhis are usually expensive due
to their elaborate designs and superior hand work.
Bhaiya Bhabhi
Rakhi: Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhis
espouse the values of virtue in one's extended family. By venerating one's
bhabhi as one's true sister, the notion of the Rakhi festival extends its
meaning to convey the message of chastity and universalism in
relationships. Bhaiya Bhabi Rakhis are extremely venerated and a great
choice with modern shoppers.

Kids Rakhi: Kids Rakhis are
specially designed for kids. Youngsters and children prefer Rakhis
that appeal to their innocence and naughtiness. Therefore, Rakhis with
themes like Spiderman, Batman, Pokemon, Shrek, and other Cartoon
characters are especially popular.
Floral Rakhi: Floral Rakhis
are extremely popular with people of all ages in the country. Floral
Rakhis embrace the beauty of floral designs in their creation. Some
Rakhis incorporate the sweet fragrance of such flowers. Floral Rakhis
can also include big and small flowers in their design. |
Silver Rakhi:
Silver Rakhis lend the traditional touch and are trendy and stylish too.
Most silver rakhis utilize a variety of traditional and customary designs
to evoke a charming appeal. Silver Rakhis come with intricate design work
and many come set with semi precious stones as well.
Gold Rakhi:
If you want to convey your message of sisterly affection to a brother who
has a heart of Gold, then what's better than a Gold Rakhi for him? 24
carat Gold Rakhis and Gold Plated Rakhis are the best choice. Similarly,
Gold Bracelet Rakhis, Gold Chain Rakhis, and Gold Rakhis with coins
displaying various symbols like Om, Krishna, Durga, Lakshmi, etc are
extremely popular.
Pearl Rakhi:
Rakhis with Pearls and associated designs are extremely popular as well.
Usually, a white or colourful Pearl is fixed to the central part of the
Rakhi, or a colourful thread is passed through the central part of the
Rakhi. Other Pearls are also added to increase the beauty of the Rakhi and
make it look more appealing. Fresh water Pearls, Hyderabadi Pearls, and Cz
Pearls are usually used in the decoration of these Rakhis.
Zari Rakhi: Zari
Rakhis display a very traditional and ethnic appeal with the inclusion
of fine Silver, Golden, and Silk threads. They are usually decorated
with Sequins, Beads, Pearls, Kundan, and other materials to make
them look more attractive and elegant. Many Zari Rakhis also include
Satin Strands to give them a very graceful appearance. There are
literally hundreds of Rakhi designs that are available in the market,
but the ones mentioned above are more fashionable and well-accepted.
Choose from a brilliant collection of Rakhis available from stores
and stalls across the country and even abroad. The message of Rakhi
has global appeal and strikes a chord in hearts around the world.
