Before diving into the vast sea of our curated Rakhi gift ideas and Rakhi Gift Hampers, let’s get to know what Rakshabandhan is all about and why it is such an important festival in India. The way that Indian people celebrate it is profound. They try their best to make the most of this occasion. But why and how? Keep on reading to know.

HISTORY OF RAKSHA BANDHAN

Rakshabandhan is not just a festival, it’s a representation of the love between siblings, sisters and brothers. By simply tying a thread around the wrist of her brother, the sister is assured that her brother will be there for her and protect her from every problem that comes her way. 

WHY IS RAKHI CELEBRATED?

Rakhi, a bond of protection, exists because of a certain incident that is believed to have taken place in Indian history. It is believed that once, when Shri Krishna had injured himself while using his Sudarshan Chakra, Draupadi tore a piece of cloth from her saree and tied it around Shri Krishna’s injured finger. This is a part of the holy epic, Mahabharata. Since then, Shri Krishna has committed to protecting Draupadi at all costs. It is a sacred act.

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF RAKHI IN THE HINDU RELIGION?

The Hindu Dharma takes Rakhi very seriously owing to the historical event that they believe to have happened due to the Mahabharata. For Hindus, Mahabharata is not just an epic story, it’s a faith that they try to follow with all their might. Mahabharata teaches humans to be truthful and faithful, sets examples of the fact that the good always wins over the evil, and makes them believe that kindness, forgiveness, and being adamant about one’s dharma are the most profound way of living. When Draupadi tied a piece of her saree around Shri Krishna’s injured finger, she showed her affection and dedication to him. In return, Shri Krishna promised to keep her safe, showing the chivalry he possessed. 

It is believed that the best time to tie a Rakhi is during the afternoon, in the Aparahna period. However, it is also okay to tie it during the Pradosh period which starts at sunset. But there is a rule that must be followed according to the Hindu scriptures. One should always avoid tying a Rakhi in the Bhadra period, that is, during the early mornings and late evenings. This is because it is said that negative energies are at play during this time period.

If you want to know which God is celebrated on Rakhi, here is the answer - Lord Yama and his sister Yamuna are worshipped on this auspicious occasion. When Yamuna tied a Rakhi around Lord his wrist and blessed him with immortality, Lord Yama was so touched that he declared that whoever gets the opportunity to get a Rakhi tied around his hand by his sister, will become immortal. 

EVOLUTION OF RAKSHABANDHAN

One can’t deny the fact that the way that Rakhi is celebrated today is different from the earlier times. The way of celebrating Rakhi has been changing, more like evolving, over the period of time since it was first celebrated.  ...

HOW IT WAS CELEBRATED IN THE EARLY DECADES

Rakhi n is a popular ceremony in India. Almost celebrated by all the Hindus every year. In recent years, Rakhi has changed the form in which it is celebrated. It has the sister tying a Rakhi around her brother’s wrist, but it wasn’t always celebrated this way. Rakhi, celebrated on the last day of the Hindu lunar calendar month of Shraavana, was first celebrated in a different way than now. In Sanskrit, from which the word has originated, Rakhi literally means, “Bond of Protection”. People, now-a-days, are used to thinking that Rakhi is just about a sister tying a piece of thread around her brother’s wrist. But they aren’t aware of the way it transitioned from what it used to be to what it is today. The value of a Rakhi hasn’t degraded in any way, but the way of celebrating the love between sister and brother has. It is written in the old Hindu texts that in the early times Rakhi was celebrated in a way where a domestic priest used to tie amulets, or threads around his patron’s wrist or changed the already existing but old amulets to a new one, and received gifts in the form of money from them. In fact, it is still the case in some places in India.

IMPACT OF MODERNISATION ON RAKHI

Has the modern world changed our traditions, the way we celebrate our culture? You probably know the answer already. The way we celebrated our culture and traditions, including Rakhi, has changed over time, especially because of the modernisation of our country. We have become ‘cool’ and are able to put technology to good use when it comes to festivals. Now, unlike before, a sister doesn’t need to tie a Rakhi on her brother’s wrist directly to receive a gift from him. The way we celebrated the festival of Rakhi started changing when the postal services became an integral part of the way our country worked, with various documents and dak pads being sent from one city to another, one state to another. Since then, if her brother was away from home, a sister could simply post a Rakhi to her brother which took several days to reach him. The brother, in return, sent money as a gift for the Rakhi he received. In recent years, however, the process of exchanging Rakhi and gifts between siblings has become faster and more efficient than ever. Now, a sister can easily select a Rakhi with gifts for her brother online if he’s not with her. She can even choose to send some chocolates his way or rakhi hampers online. The brother, too, has the option of sending a  rakhi gift online or a gift card to her sister. Even if one of the siblings lives overseas, he or she can always video call the other and reminisce about the older days; days when they were still kids. Basically, the way that a pair of siblings express their affection has changed but the love that they possess for each other remains the same. 

CHANGES IN RAKHI GIFTS TO RAKHI HAMPERS

As has been mentioned earlier, these days there are many different ways one sibling can shower love upon the other. There are many Rakhi gift ideas available online if one doesn’t want to rack his brain for it. There are many websites, like ours, that create unique, one-of-a-kind Rakhi gift hampers that are sure to make your sibling climb over to the ninth cloud. You can easily select a rakhi hamper online that you think fits your sibling’s taste and send it their way. Ordering gifts for Rakhi is a very convenient option in these days and times.  Rakhi gifts online are an efficient way that guarantees to save the time and trouble that one might face if the siblings live in separate places. 

RITUAL VARIATIONS ACROSS REGIONS

The way that Rakhi is celebrated varies from one region or state to another. This is not the case just for Rakhi but for almost all the festivals in India. The way that the ceremony of Rakhi is performed is different in every region.

NARALI PURNIMA FROM MAHARASHTRA

Maharashtra being a coastal state, celebrates Rakhi along with the full moon day of Shravan. On this day, the devotees of Lord Varuna make an offering of ‘nariyal’ or coconut to the sea, praying for their well-being. This is done by the Koli community of Maharashtra. Another community, the community of fishermen, make a coconut offering to the Sea God praying for protection from any type of calamity and a prosperous life.

LUMBA RAKHI FROM RAJASTHAN

Among the Marwari and Rajasthani communities, sisters not only tie Rakhi around the wrists of their brothers but also around the bangles of their wives. It is believed that since the wife of the brother is the ‘ardhangini’ or the better half of the brother, she should also share the responsibility of protecting and loving the sisters the same as their husband. 

PAVITROPANA FROM GUJARAT

The people of Gujarat also celebrate Pavitropana along with Rakhi. This day doesn’t include only a sister tying a Rakhi around her brother’s wrist, but people worshipping Lord Shiva too. It is believed that worshipping Lord Shiva on this day clears away all their sins and makes them pure.

KAJARI PURNIMA FROM MADHYA PRADESH AND BIHAR

The day of Rakhi n marks the day of the start of the new agricultural season in Madhya Pradesh and Bihar, so it is an important day for them. 

JHULAN PURNIMA FROM WEST BENGAL

This day is celebrated as the day when the five-day-long swinging of the ‘Jhula’ of Shri Krishna and Radha comes to an end. The ‘Jhule’ or the swing is mostly decorated with flowers.
