Hey there, festive fashionistas! Raksha Bandhan, often referred to as Rakhi, is a cherished Indian festival and is just around the corner, so it’s the perfect time to plan your outfits. 
In recent times, Raksha Bandhan has evolved to include a broader concept of protection and care. It’s not uncommon for friends, cousins, and even women to tie rakhis to soldiers or other protectors, extending the sentiment of the festival beyond the immediate family. Raksha Bandhan is a beautiful reminder of the enduring bond of love and protection. It’s a day filled with rituals, joy, and heartfelt expressions of care and commitment.
