Raksha Bandhan or rakhi is a festival of love, care and affection. This is the special day to celebrate the special bond of love shared between brothers and sisters. This day is marked by a special tradition of tying a decorated thread around the brother's wrist by the sisters followed by aarti and tilak (a red mark made with Chandan or kumkum). This thread signifies a bond of protection, care and affection. After tilak, sisters pray for the success, protection and growth of her brother while brothers take a pledge to protect their sister in every situation. Sisters also feed their brothers with sweets and dry foods and brothers also do the same. Brothers give them a meaningful gift like clothes, personalized gifts, or money.
The preparation of this beautiful festival starts way before then it occurs. Sisters go out to buy the best rakhi for their brothers and sister-in-law (if the brother is married) while brothers on their part keep searching for the best gift for their sweet sisters. Talking about sister-in-law, there is a special rakhi for them called Lumba rakhi. Lumba rakhi is a beautiful and special rakhi for bhabhi.
When a brother is married, it is believed that no ritual or puja/prayer is completed without his wife because she becomes his other-half (Ardhangini). Rakshabandhan involves a prayer/puja therefore it is necessary to make his wife a part of this beautiful prayer by presenting her a special rakhi called 'Lumba rakhi'.
