6 Rugs You can Choose to Gift to Your Partner in Crime This Rakshabandhan

Rakshabandhan. Each year, a sister ties a knot on her brother's wrist as a symbol of her undying love, faith, and care, while wishing him a long life. In exchange, the brother promises to always protect his sister and never allow her grin to disappear.

 

Remember how, when we were young, our mothers would dress us in fresh clothing and give us a bath before allowing us to touch the Pooja plate, which was so beautifully organised and decorated? As children, we did not comprehend the deeper significance of the event, such as the significance of eternal love, care, and protection. As innocent as a child could be, they only comprehend the tangible, perceptible things they can see and touch. Thus, while our moms would attach a great deal of meaning to the act of tying a knot on their brother's wrist, the source of our delight was the gifts, the sweets, and the pleasure of seeing our cousins whom we infrequently met.

However, as we mature, we learn to appreciate the thoughts and the significance of the occasion for our mothers. There is an emotion associated to both ends of the thread while it is being tied, regardless of whether you are the brother getting the thread knotted on your wrist or the sister who is tying it. This emotion causes us to reflect on all the tiny arguments we had, all the times one cried because the other was scolded, all the times you made them finish their Maggi first so you could then tease them by eating it even more slowly than ever, and so many other anecdotes from our youth. As the remembrance approaches, we realise the thread has been tied and it is now time to feed each other sweets, with a slight grin on our faces as a result of these beautiful memories. 

To make this moment even better, we have compiled a list of the top six rugs that we believe you could present to your sibling on Rakhi. The threads of our rugs have been knotted to withstand the test of time, exactly as the Rakhi thread is tied to symbolise a sibling's eternal love.
