Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi Celebrations
The practice of celebrating the festival of Raksha Bandhan with Bhaiya
as well as Bhabhi, is getting popular in India, as well as abroad. |

Why is
Bhaiya-Bhabhi Rakhi celebrated?:
A man is incomplete without his better half. Just like the brother takes
on the responsibilities of the father as the protector and caretaker of
the sister, a Bhabhi’s role takes on the shape of a mother’s with her
sister-in-law with the passage of time. Tying a rakhi to the bhabhi is a
symbol of the trust reposed in her to fulfill her duties towards her
sister-in-law since the literal meaning of Raksha Bandhan is a bond of
protection. Celebrating Rakhi with bhaiya and bhabhi is also a great way of making the bhabhi feel like an important part of the family as she is closely connected with all her husband’s duties and responsibilities. It is especially nice if the bhabhi is newly married into the family. Such an action will go a long way in conveying warmth and love to her from the sister. The festival then becomes a celebration of the bond between a sister and a brother as well as the bond between a sister-in-law and a sister. Celebrating Rakhi with Bhabhi strengthens the emotional ties among several family members – the sister and sister-in-law, the sister and the brother and even the bhaiya and the bhabhi. The brother feels glad when he sees his sister and wife building a strong relationship with each other since both the relationships are of immense value to him from an emotional standpoint. The joint family system where all family members live together and are there for each other through thick and thin also gets strengthened through the practice since a happy family stays together thanks to the positive relationships among all its members. |

How did the practice begin?: The practice of tying a rakhi to the bhabhi on Raksha Bandhan along with bhaiya started in the state of Rajasthan. In Marwari, a Rajasthani language, a bangle is called a lumba. This is why the rakhi tied on bhabhis is called a lumba rakhi. With time, this practice is gaining in popularity and is now seen in almost every Indian state wherever Rakhi is celebrated. Sisters tie the rakhi thread on the bhabhi’s bangle, and the rakhi thread dangles from it. Even regular Rakhi threads available as part of Bhaiya-Bhabhi rakhi sets are tied to bhabhis. Most people buy a more feminine looking version of the same rakhi as the brother’s Rakhi to maintain parity. |

Kinds of Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi sets available: Like Rakhi threads for brothers, there is much variety available for Bhaiya-Bhabhi Rakhi sets too in marketplaces, whether physical or online. Pearl Rakhi sets, kundan rakhi sets, peacock rakhi sets, rudraksha rakhi – the range is simply a treat for the eyes. |

are gifting something to your brother, don’t forget to gift something to
your bhabhi too on Raksha Bandhan.

Sisters place the sweet needed for the ceremony, some rice and vermillion for the tika in the thali which makes it a centre of attention on the occasion. With its traditonal decoration, it really does add to the beauty of the festival’s celebration considerably.
