Rakhi is around the corner and like bygone years, it will once again bring in the perfect occasion for brothers and sisters to celebrate their beautiful bond with gifts, food and lots of love. On this day, sisters tie Rakhi on their brothers’ wrist, and the latter make a firm promise to protect sisters against all evil while praying for a healthy and happy life for each other. Gifts are exchanged between them as an ideal expression of their love and feelings for each other. It is an occasion where families get together reminiscing childhood days and times, and bond over good food while children learn the significance of the festival through the different rituals conducted at their homes.

While children make merry with their brothers, sisters and cousins during this occasion, elders who stay miles apart from their siblings, Send Rakhi Gifts and a Rakhi, expressing their love on this day. Online gift shops are in huge demand during this time since people depend on them for timely Rakhi gift delivery to their loved ones. In Europe, South East Asians celebrate Rakhi with a lot of fanfare. They gather at a common place and women tie Rakhi to men who are not their real brothers to keep up the spirit of the festival. Similarly, in Nepal, which is the only Hindu country in the world, celebrates Rakhi like Indians. It begins and ends by girls tying a Raksha Sutra or Rakhi on the wrists of their brothers over family get together and feasts. In fact, certain organizations in Australia and Canada organize Rakhi celebration in their offices to boost spirits of fellow Indians.
