•The Story Behind Raksha Bandhan: Why We Tie Rakhis & Give Rakhi Gifts

Rakshabandhan, also known as Rakhi, is a traditional Hindu festival celebrating the bond between brothers and sisters. The term "Rakshabandhan" translates to "the bond of protection." This day is generally observed on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravan, usually falling in August.
Whether you celebrate in person or send rakhi online to your brother due to a distance barrier, these threads that you tie are symbolic of something important. This thread symbolizes the sister's love and prayers for her brother's well-being, while the brother pledges to protect her throughout his life. This act reinforces the familial bond and mutual respect between siblings.
There are quite a few beliefs and stories that the origin of this festival is rooted in, and a lot of them hold great mythological significance in the Hindu religion. Rakshabandhan has roots in various historical and mythological stories. One legend involves Queen Karnavati of Chittor, who sent a handmade Rakhi to Mughal Emperor Humayun seeking protection. Another story from the Mahabharata tells tales of Draupadi tying a strip of her sari to Lord Krishna’s wrist to stop his bleeding, leading Krishna to promise her protection.

•Green Gifting for Raksha Bandhan: Why Should You Buy Plantable Rakhi Online?

The concept of green gifting has come up recently, with a lot of people choosing to go green and celebrate their festivals in a more sustainable and eco-friendly manner, while still retaining their traditions. So, for this Rakhi, we decided to take it a step further so that you can not only pick a sustainable celebration option but also plant a symbol of your sibling bond and watch it grow with you!
Rakhis, as we mentioned, are a way of celebrating your love and affection for your brother. These threads that you tie on their wrists say that you pray for them and love them through all tough times as well. So, why get a rakhi that will eventually be disposed of? Instead, this year, celebrate with Ugaoo’s Plantable Handmade Rakhis. These rakhis come with wonderful plant seeds attached to them. They are intricately woven by hand to create lovely, traditional designs. So, once you have celebrated the festival, you and your brother can plant the rakhi directly into a pot with soil.
Once you have planted your plantable rakhi, you must cover it up with soil and water it daily to keep the soil moist. This way, your bond will be eternally fortified within the plant that will thus grow. Whether you choose to grow Cucumber & Chulai, Amaltash & Brinjal or Kalonji, your bond will blossom into a physical manifestation of itself and grow just as strong. Not only is this a more memorable and unique way of celebrating the festival but also more eco-friendly and sustainable! Ugaoo’s Seed Rakhis bring you the best of both worlds!
