Here are a few ideas that could help you decorate your home as well as your Rakhi thali for the festival celebration this year. It is these small things, after all, that make all the difference between a regular humdrum celebration and a truly memorable one.
It has become a more common practice to buy a rakhi thali for the celebrations. Today, there are assortments
of rakhi thalis available in
