No Indian festival is complete without the typical Indian festivities, exchange of sweets and gifts, lots of noise, singing and dancing. Festivals are occasions of celebrating togetherness and the festival of Rakhi is one such major occasion.
It is the celebration of brothers and sisters. It is one such festival that primarily belongs
|
to the northern India but is celebrated throughout the country with the same spirit.
According to the traditions, the sister prepares the pooja thali with diya, roli, chawal and rakhis on this day. The brother in turn acknowledges the love with a promise to be on the sister’s side in all the circumstances.
This is the day that brings the brothers and sisters together. The increasing physical distances evoke the desire to be together even more. The cheerful meeting and the family get together calls for a massive celebration.
After tying the thread of love on their brother’s wrist, the sister bestows him with gift and blessings. The brother also bestows his blessings and pledges to take care of her. He also gives her a return gift. The gift is a symbol of acceptance of love, reminder of their togetherness and a symbol of his pledge.
These days the markets are flooded with various kinds of gifts. For instance rakhi gift pack, rakhi gift hamper etc containing various kinds of chocolates, cookies, sweets and mithai’s etc.
If you are bored with these usual gifts then you can also gift wristwatches, bracelets and dresses and make the occasion a lifetime experience to be remembered by all.
