India is a �Land of Festivals� with a large number of occasions celebrated in different parts of the nation round the year. Of all the festivals, Raksha Bandhan is one such that marks the lovely bonding of a sister and brother. On this special day, sisters tie a sacred thread, better known as rakhi, on the wrist of their brother and pray for his good and prosperous life. In return, the brother pledges to support and protect his sister throughout her life. Preparations for the festival begin about a month before, wherein sisters visit markets flooded with beautiful and colorful rakhis. There are a wide range of rakhis to choose from, made up of religious thread and symbols, flowers, leaves, cartoon character, rudraksh, sandalwood, zari work, silver and golden work. Besides, you have pearl rakhi, decked up with one or several pearls. They look amazing and sparkle all the while. While these pearl rakhis can be purchased from the stores, how about making one at home? Not only will it look simple yet striking, but your brother will also value the hard work that has gone into its making. Listed below are the steps on how to make a pearl rakhi at home. Read on.
