Presenting homemade rakhi to your brother and bhabhi are far more loved than store-bought ones. This piece lists steps to make them at home.
Raksha Bandhan is celebrated with great joy and enthusiasm all over the world. On this pious festival, a sister ties a thread of love and care, known as Rakhi, on the wrist of her brother. In addition, if the brother is married, then a similar rakhi is tied on the wrist of his wife, that is sister-in-law, as well. However, the rakhi tied on a sister-in-law's (bhabhi's) wrist is called lumba. The trend of tying a thread on a bhabhi's wrist started in the state of Rajasthan, but has now spread in every state of India and abroad. As such, buying a rakhi just for your brother will not complete the job; you surely need to pick up a rakhi (lumba) for your bhabhi as well. Moreover, the thought of making a rakhi for your brother and a lumba for your bhabhi at home will infuse in more charm and glamour to the festival. In the following lines, we present you the method for making rakhi for your brother and bhabhi.
