Rakhi

Rakhi — 45 pieces in the VIZHEE Gifting & Occasions collection. The rakhi thread tied on Raksha Bandhan — a sister's vow of affection and a brother's vow of protection. Raksha Bandhan ('bond of protection') centres on a sister tying a rakhi thread on her brother's wrist. The custom has roots in Vedic-era raksha (protection) rituals, with protective thread-tying mantras recorded in the Atharva Veda; the modern festival falls on the full moon of the lunar month Shravan. Tying a rakhi is a way of renewing a bond of mutual care once a year; the thread itself carries no promised effect beyond the sentiment and commitment it marks between siblings or close ones. A decorative protective thread tied by a sister around her brother's wrist during the festival of Raksha Bandhan, marking a bond of mutual protection.
