Festivals of India

Did you know? India is a country that enjoys almost an odd month’s holiday each year! Yes! A rich land of myriad cultures, traditions, and religions, India speaks volumes of diversity in every aspect. It joyously celebrates each festival with a sumptuous feast, overwhelming emotions, a generous gifting culture and a deep meaning to life and existence.


Round the year, India celebrates nearly 30+ major festivals belonging to different cultures, castes, and sectors of the society. Let us look at some of the major festivals celebrated round the year along with the various options for gifting on various festivals in India.


Rakshabandhan


Raksha Bandhan


Rakhi for Rakshabandhan is one festival that each Indian awaits. So much so that they start preparing for it from the beginning of the year itself. The day celebrates the chaste and blissful relationship of a brother & sister. A sister ties a mauli or rakhi on her brother’s hand on this day to mark a promise of safety & security that her brother will provide her with.


Rakshabandhan is an occasion where either siblings or cousins or relations adopted by virtue find meaning of a sacred bond between a brother & sister. On rakhi, a sister eagerly awaits her brother to pay her a visit and bring along with him sweets and gifts for her. For this one day, all sibling rivalry comes to an end, all wars at ceasefire, and all differences forgotten. An innocent attempt of nature to remind a duo what they have is the most precious bond than any other.


It is a rather gloomy day for those sisters and brothers who stay away from each other. They fill in this gap of separation by sending gifts, sweets, rakhi sets, flowers, or cards online or via someone visiting home. Friends who share a bond deeper than friendship too decide to wear the shoes of respective brothers and sisters and form a new bond of brother-sister on this day.


With the internet buzzing with Rakhi Gift options, there is a huge world of options to explore from. Bhaiya-Bhabhi gift hampers, Chocolate hampers, Perfume sets, watch sets, flowers, and more are some of the most searched rakhi gifts online.
