What is a Rakhi made from?
Rakhis come in many formats, whether bought from the shop, temple, or homemade! They are given as a symbolic gesture of love and protection, traditionally given to brothers by those they consider as sisters.
Ranging from a simple, plain white cotton string to brightly colored fabric, stones, seeds, and even precious metal bracelets can all be adorned with charms and given with love as a Rakhi.
