We all know that as Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi is just around the corner, Indians across the globe are gearing up for the auspicious festive occasion. This is one Indian festival that transcends the confines of cultural, religious and border boundaries and unites people in harmony regardless of their genre. The hypnotic charm of Rakshabandhan or rakhi also lies in its subtle yet magnanimous personality, which speechlessly urges brothers and sisters to walk past petty differences and get into the realms of sublimity and selfless love. The walk through this auspicious day is so surreal that one tends to forget the basic traits of human nature that are responsible for having ushered humanity into a mapped world.

History books too have a lot to say on this auspicious Indian festival, Rakshabandhan. According to these books, this divine thread, Rakhi, has resulted into countless ties between different kingdoms and empires. Even those kingdoms which were at loggerheads on account of ideological and religious differences finally gave way to peace in order to honour the Rakhi. One famous example that exhibits the divine power of Rakhi is that of the power Indian king Porus. After Alexander’s juggernaut was halted by this mighty Indian King; the former’s execution at the hands of Porus was imminent. In the meantime, Alexander’s wife in order to protect her husband tied a Rakhi on the wrist of Porus, who then went on to pardon his adopted sister’s husband and principal enemy, Alexander.

With plenty of Indians residing abroad i.e. outside India, Rakshabandhan or rakhi has in a way garnered global eyeballs. However, the festival’s popularity not being strong in countries other than US,UK, and Canada, majority of these expatriates don’t get a chance to engage in traditional Rakhi celebrations. Getting traditional Rakhis, Rakhi gifts, Rakhi Thalis and other related products too is difficult because of unavailability there. But online gifts portal have come with a concept that makes Rakhi shopping possible for all of them by providing their services like Cheap Gifts To India.

Indian festivals reflect the true spirit of rich Indian cultures and traditions. The unity with which people celebrate festivals and feelings that they nurture for one and all is what Indian culture means. There are many races, tribes and communities living in and around India and do follow their own peculiar trades and traditions. Therefore thousands of festivals celebrated every year in India and all have their own particular meaning and significance in its society. While all the festivals promote some common values such as harmony, well being and living life with joy and festivity, they all have very distinguished way of celebration and expressing gratitude towards natural and supernatural powers.

Raksha Bandhan is a festival which strengthens the relations of brothers and sisters and keeps them associated for life, no matter where they live. It falls on the day Shravan Purnima (full-moon night) in month of August every year, which is due on 24th this year. Sisters tie a Rakhi thread on brothers wrist and brothers return Rakhi gifts to them with a lot of love and blessings. The festival provides a mean for sisters to seek support of their brothers if they need it. The ethical sentiments on the occasion encourage brothers to accept it as their duty to stand by her whenever she may need their support. The festival is celebrated with due ritual and enjoyed with delicious dishes, sweets and dry fruits.

Dry Fruits are very important offerings on festive occasions in India and are a must thing on the festive preparations. On Raksha Bandhan, sisters bring dry fruit packs with Rakhis for brothers.
