2. Change in Rakhi Styles
With changing times, the Rakhis are also undergoing some transformation. From the traditional
Rakhis made of thread and decorative adornments, modern-day Rakhis are getting inspired by the
latest jewelry trends which make them relevant even after the occasion. From traditional to modern,
there are countless options to choose from such as Rudraksha Rakhi, Ganesh Rakhi, Quirky Rakhi,
Silk Thread Rakhi, Chandan Rakhi, Metal Rakhi, Stone Rakhi, Swastik Rakhi, Mauli Rakhi,
Personalised Rakhi, Diamond Rakhi, Peacock Rakhi, Silver Rakhi, Lumba Rakhi, Kundan Rakhi,
Divine Rakhi, Pearl Rakhi, Designer Rakhi, Zardosi Rakhi, etc. At the same time, now the trend and
style of Raksha Sutra have also started changing. Now customized Rakhis and gifts are also being
prepared on Rakhi, to make this festival memorable forever
Not only that, a single rakhi is no more in trend these days. There are various rakhi combos available
online which serve as rakhi gifts for brothers, bhaiya bhabhi, etc. These combos include rakhi with
sweets, rakhi with chocolates, rakhi with dry fruits, Rakhi Sets, Set Of 2 Rakhi, Set Of 3 Rakhi, etc.
These new forms of rakhi hold the same traditional value and in no way decrease the signi icance of
the auspicious festival of Raksha Bandhan.
3. Change in Rakhi Celebration
Raksha Bandhan is celebrated in different parts of the
country in different styles and is known by different
names. Apart from India, USA, UK, Australia, Nepal also
celebrates the festival with the same vigor. Earlier, the
festival was restricted to India only, but now Indians are all
over the country and they have made the festival popular
in every corner of the world. Sisters send rakhi gifts for
brothers to different parts of the world to celebrate the
auspicious festival
4. Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi Has Gained Popularity
Raksha Bandhan traditionally stands for sister tying rakhi to brothers, but a new tradition which was
conceived in Rajasthan celebrates Raksha Bandhan with Bhabhi as well. This has now spread to most
parts and now Bhaiya and Bhabhi both are celebrated on rakhi and gifts are exchanged with both of
them that also marks welcome of their Bhabhi into the family. This tradition makes new memories and
spreads joy. A new name has been given to Rakhi for bhabhi i.e Lumba rakhi. You will witness different
types of Lumba rakhi that are available online or even stores nearby you such as jeweled Lumba Rakhi,
zardosi Lumba Rakhi, designer Lumba rakhi, Stone Decorated Lumba Rakhi, jhumka-style Lumba
rakhi, pearl Lumba rakhi and much more.
