The festival of Rakshabandhan teaches us the value of family, prayers, rituals, relationships and sibling love. It is an auspicious occasion where sisters tie rakhi on their brother’s wrist and the brothers in turn vow to protect them against all odds.
Here are some ideas to celebrate Rakshabandhan this year.
Prepare a customized rakhi – With digital marketing on the rise, there are many gifting portals that offer beautiful rakhis that can be customized as per your requirement. Surf online to choose one of these or better still, make your own rakhi. Such a rakhi will never look outdated. Think of your brother’s favourite motif and add your personal touch to create a masterpiece him. You can use materials such as rudraksh, sandalwood beads, paper flowers, cartoon stickers, if your brother is young, or any other motif of your choice.
Homemade Sweets – Nothing can be more special than sweets made lovingly by the sisters on this special day. The fact that you try to take out time from your hectic schedule to prepare sweets is appreciable in itself and would not go unnoticed by everyone. If you can go personally with sweets it is perfect, but if you can’t go yourself due to distance, there are plenty of options of courier service available that can be used.
Decorate your Home – Give your home a festive look so that positive energy flows all around. Change the curtains, throw in an extra rug, add colour here and there and see your home transformed. A few tassles hanging, some indoor plants, fairy lights, all these can add that extra charm and set the mood for festivities.
Plan a Family Trip – You can also plan a short trip somewhere closeby where you all have been longing to go but the plan could not be materialized due to some reason. This way you can tie the rakhi in a different setting and create memories.
Pick any of the above ideas and make this rakshabandhan special.
