Where to get Rakhis in the USA

Raksha Bandhan (also known as Rakhi/Rakhri) is the Hindu festival that celebrates the love and loyalty between siblings. Historically a brother and sister only holiday, Rakhi has evolved to a sibling celebration to honor the bond between sisters, sister in-laws and more. On this day sisters tie a rakhi (blessed thread) on their sibling’s wrist, which symbolizes the sister’s love and prayers for her sibling’s well-being, as the other sibling promises to protect her. After the rakhi is tied, sweets and gifts are exchanged, as a thank you for the prayers and blessings. There are stories dating back in Indian history to the Rajput Queens and how they would send rakhis to neighboring kingdoms, as peace offerings, binding the kings in brotherhood.
