Indians are spread across nations, but they always have their motherland in their thoughts and their hearts. It is observed that Indians like to keep their customs and traditions alive even in foreign countries. The Indian culture is known for its diversity and festivals. One of them is Raksha Bandhan which is a popular festival that celebrates the sibling bond.
Raksha Bandhan was originally celebrated by Hindus, however, with time other communities also started practising the traditional customs. The customs include tying rakhi and gifting your loved ones memorable items. The age-old festival is beautifully celebrated by Indian expatriates in the UAE, keeping the liveliness of the occasion alive. During the Raksha Bandhan season, the streets of the UAE are filled with colourful rakhis and Indian sweets. The sweet shops see a major hike in the demand for Indian sweets every year during Raksha Bandhan. The Indian sweets are sold by different vendors and they also offer customised packs for the occasion.
Gifting is the most celebrated part of Raksha Bandhan in the UAE. Gifting is commonly practised in Arabic culture, so sending gifts to your dear ones is a must during festivals. Raksha Bandhan celebrations in the UAE are done following the simple concept of tying rakhi and receiving gifts. So, it’s important to find the right rakhi gifts for your sister before she ties you the sacred thread. And for sisters, the major task is to find the perfect rakhi for your dear brother that looks good on his wrist.
