Raksha Bandhan is more than just tying a rakhi—it's a celebration of love, tradition, and thoughtful gifts. On this day, sisters apply a tilak on their brother's forehead, tie a rakhi on his wrist, and offer him something sweet. Popular traditional sweets for this festival include besan laddoo, motichoor laddoo, kaju katli, coconut barfi, and gulab jamun. In modern times, chocolates and fusion sweets are also trending, especially for younger brothers.

Along with sweets, sisters bring a beautifully decorated puja thali, which includes a rakhi, roli (vermilion), akshat (rice), diya (lamp), sweets, and a coconut. Some sisters also give gifts like money, wristwatches, perfumes, books, or other thoughtful presents. This festival is a beautiful way to sweeten the bond between siblings and bless it with good wishes.

Celebrate Raksha Bandhan 2025 by following these heartfelt traditions and make the day truly unforgettable for your brother.
