Top 10 Rakhi Gifts for Sisters

In India, people associate boys with ‘intellect and reasoning’ and girls with ‘emotions and feelings’. An intellect without feelings makes a person an automaton and feelings without intellect can lead us to disasters. A closely bonded brother-sister duo protects each other from a doomed existence. On the auspicious occasion of Rakhi, sisters go to their brothers’ homes to tie the sacred thread around their wrists and pray for their long lives and wellbeing. They carry a Puja Thali with them, complete with coconut, roli, chawal, kaudi (believed auspicious enough to usher in wealth and riches), rakhi, and a box of sweets. Brothers too give customary gifts to sisters on Rakhi to make her happy and vow to always be there for her.
