Are you excited about celebrating Raksha Bandhan 2024 and looking for a unique and meaningful way to tie a lumba rakhi? Look no further! In this step-by-step guide, we will take you through the process of tying a lumba rakhi, along with some interesting facts and ideas to make this festival even more memorable.

Gathering the Essentials for the Celebration

Before we dive into the step-by-step guide, let's gather all the essentials you'll need for the celebration:

• A beautiful lumba rakhi (preferably hand-woven by Indian artisans)
• A pair of scissors
• Thread or string
• A small container for roli and chawal (you can use the complimentary duo packed in cute bottles that come with Phool rakhi box)
• A diya (optional)

Now that we have everything ready, let's begin with the step-by-step guide on how to tie a lumba rakhi.

Step 1: Preparing the Lumba Rakhi

Start by selecting a beautiful lumba rakhi that matches the vibe of the festival. Phool offers a wide range of hand-woven, colorfully made by Indian artisans, plantable rakhis, evil eye rakhis, designer rakhis, pure cotton rakhi, hand-made rakhi, versatile bracelet rakhi, semi-precious stone rakhi, and 7 chakra rakhi that can double up as a bracelet and accessory even after Raksha Bandhan. Choose the one that resonates with your style and preferences.

Once you have chosen the lumba rakhi, make sure it is in good condition and securely tied. If needed, trim any loose threads or adjust the size to fit your wrist comfortably.

Step 2: Finding the Perfect Spot

Now that your lumba rakhi is ready, find the perfect spot on your sister-in-law's wrist to tie it. The lumba rakhi is traditionally tied on the left wrist of the sister-in-law as a symbol of love, protection, and a strong bond between the sisters-in-law.

Step 3: Tying the Lumba Rakhi

Take the thread or string and tie a simple knot at one end. This will serve as the starting point for tying the lumba rakhi.

Hold the lumba rakhi by the decorative end and gently place it on the selected spot on your sister-in-law's wrist. Ensure that the design is facing outward.

Wrap the thread or string around the wrist, making sure it is neither too tight nor too loose. Continue wrapping until you reach the starting point.

Now, tie a secure knot to fasten the lumba rakhi in place. Make sure the knot is tight enough to keep the rakhi secure throughout the day.

Step 4: Performing the Tilak Ritual

Once the lumba rakhi is tied, it's time to perform the tilak ritual. Take a small container of roli and chawal (you can use the complimentary duo packed in cute bottles that come with Phool rakhi box) and apply a small dot of roli on your sister-in-law's forehead. This represents the tilak and signifies the bond of love and protection.

Step 5: Exchanging Gifts and Sweets

After tying the lumba rakhi and performing the tilak ritual, exchange gifts and sweets with your sister-in-law as a gesture of love and appreciation. This is a beautiful tradition that strengthens the bond between sisters-in-law and brings joy to the festival.
