The season of festivals is here again, Indians today are celebrating Rakshabandhan or Rakhi. In fact, Indians across the country are gearing up for big festivals like Janmashtmi, which is on 2nd September, Ganesh Chaturthi, which is starting from 13th September and Diwali, which will be celebrated on 7th November, 2018. Raksha Bandhan commemorates the bond of love between a brother and sister. Raksha Bandhan literally translates to the 'bond of protection.' While sisters tie rakhi on their brother's wrists, brothers pledge to protect her from any problem in life. The beautiful festival is celebrated with some rituals and Indian mithais like ghevar, kaju katli, patisa/soan papdi and laddoos among others. However, the new-age siblings might like it slightly different. How about celebrating rakhi with something different from the contemporary mithais? We tell you some amazing sweet-treats that you can gift your sibling or make for them at home to make this day even more special.
