12 Raksha Bandhan Recipes To Adorn Your Aarti Thali

We all know happy Raksha Bandhan becomes happier with some sweets and Raksha Bandhan songs around. Here are 12 Rakhi festival recipes that you should try making this year!
As per hindu calendar, Raksha Bandhan 2017 falls on August 7th and is a bonding time for many families. Raksha Bandhan recipes are on our mind and we know you are thinking about them too!

How do we celebrate Raksha Bandhan | Rakhi ?

Raksha Bandhan is an Indian festival, usually celebrated between a brother and a sister. The sister ties the rakhi (a decorated sacred thread) to her brother’s wrist and wishes him prosperity. The brother in turn gives her a gift and promises to be there for her. Aarti, tilak and sweets definitely make their place in the process. Raksha Bandhan has such huge significance that even in the age of sending online Rakhi gifts, online Rakhi wishes and Rakhi messages, many sisters who live abroad still  try and send Rakhi to India.

Why do we celebrate Raksha Bandhan | Rakhi ?

Rakhi festival is that occasion, where we spend time in realizing the importance of wishing good things for someone or reflecting on the support system that we have built for each other. We should be proud to have such strong family values and close knit communities and should take a moment to appreciate the same. In a sense, I feel it can be celebrated among any two persons who have a willingness to honor the festival in such spirit of empathy and not create a difference in our roles in the family. Hence the emphasis is more to recognize the worth of such priceless relationships, than just sending an instant message wishing ‘Happy Raksha Bandhan’ or receiving gifts.
No festival is complete without some mouthwatering sweets, isn’t it? We know that all of you would be grooving to some Raksha Bandhan songs, so these sweet recipes come in handy to keep your guests happy.
