Mauli Rakhi

The festival of Raksha Bandhan rejoices the chaste relationship shared between a brother and sister. It is on this occasion that both make promises. While a sister ties a Rakhi around her brother's wrist, thus expressing her love and respect, the brother, in turn, pledges to protect her throughout her life. Despite the rapid modernization, the ceremonies of this special day have always been traditional. Be it the custom of performing an Aarti before starting the thread tying ceremony or the Rakhi itself. Though a number of variations and designs have come up for Rakhi, many prefer to stick to the customary mauli Rakhi, made from a red and yellow colored thread, typically used for religious purposes. While you can find assorted mauli Rakhis in the market, the essence of preparing one at home is simply inexpressible. This traditional Rakhi can be given a beautiful yet stylish look with your creative ideas. Follow the steps listed herein to make a mauli Rakhi at home.
