Raksha Bandhan, popularly known as Rakhi, is one of the most loved and emotionally sentimental festivals of India. It is celebrated across the country and marks the ancient bond of eternal brotherhood or sisterhood. The ritual involves wishing the brother good health, fortune, and bliss while his sister ties a sacred thread known as Rakhi to his wrist. In exchange, the brother showers gifts and pledges to protect them.
However, Rakhi is much more than mere customs. It signifies the celebration of unity, happiness, festivity, and, of course, fashion, which takes centre stage.
On this day, women and girls mark the occasion by wearing colourful ethnic attire, which is a form of self-expression. Capturing family selfies becomes a ritual. The hunt for the perfect outfit becomes a little adventure. Multicoloured suits, ethnic gowns, fusion Indo-westerns, and other traditional dresses; there's so much to choose from.
No matter whether you wish to attend a festive gathering or host an intimate home ceremony, your outfit for the day must combine the holiday's spirit with timeless elegance and rich traditions.
