Raksha Bandhan is around the corner, and every brother and sister is looking forward to this beautiful celebration of the special bond between siblings. Rakhi is a thread that a sister ties around her brother’s wrist on Raksha Bandhan, which symbolises a “bond of protection”. The best way to celebrate this Raksha Bandhan is by purchasing eco-friendly rakhis, which are safe for the skin and also enhance the care, bond, and support towards your brother and the environment.
