Quilling Rakhi
The festival is marked by
the tying of a rakhi, or holy thread, which comes in many colors and designs,
by the sister on the wrist of her brother. The brother in return offers a gift
to his sister and vows to look after her as she presents sweets to him. The
brother usually presents his sister with an envelope filled with money, though
other presents such as saris and clothing can be given. The brother and sister
traditionally feed one another sweets. These sweets include anything from Jalebi, Kaju
Katli, and Burfi. Since Indian kinship practices give cousins a status similar to siblings, girls and women
often tie the rakhi to their male cousins as well (referred to as
"cousin-brothers" in regional parlance) in several communities Unrelated
boys and men who are considered to be brothers (munh-bola
bhai or adopted brothers)
can be tied rakhis, provided they commit to a lifelong obligation to provide
protection to the woman or girl

Quilling Rakhi
The festival of Raksha Bandhan is entirely dedicated to the love and affection shared between a brother and a sister. On this day, sisters pray for long life of their brothers and ask God to bless them with his blessings. Brothers, in turn, give them enticing rakhi gifts and promise to care life long. This custom has been there since time immemorial. Various other believes are associated with Rakhi and therefore, people follow certain custom and tradition to celebrate this festival.
Quilling Rakhi
Rakhi is basically a sacred thread of protection embellished with the love and affection of a sister for her brother. This day is also known as Raksha Bandhan and celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravana in India. This frail of thread of Rakhi is considered as stronger than iron chains as it binds the most beautiful relationship in an inseparable bond of love and trust. Rakhi festival also has a social significance because it underlines the notion that everybody should live in harmonious coexistence with each other.
