The Art of Rakhi: A Guide to Thoughtful Celebration

There's something almost alchemical about the way a simple thread can hold decades of shared jokes, secrets, and unspoken understanding. Rakhi isn't just a festival—it's an annual ritual of remembering that some bonds transcend distance, time and childhood memories. As another Rakhi comes around, we think of how to honour the spirit of the occasion, while making it feel authentic and personal to you and your siblings.

 

 

What to Wear for Rakhi: Style That Feels Like You

For women, this season calls for pieces that move with you—think flowing silhouettes that manage to feel both ceremonial and completely wearable. Jayanti Reddy's embroidered tunic set captures this perfectly: it's the kind of piece that photographs beautifully at a family gathering, or as the hostess at the lunch table.

 

There's something particularly compelling about Payal Singhal's Forest Whisper printed kaftan— The print suggests stories without overwhelming them, while the cut flatters without announcing itself, often the kind of piece that leaves other people asking you "Where did you get that?".

 

 

For those drawn to more traditional silhouettes, Ridhi Mehra's Nafasat Anarkali set offers that timeless elegance that feels both rooted and contemporary.

 

 

And for those that want to bring in tradition while giving it a new-age spin, there's the YAM's Lila silk saree. The silk catches light beautifully, and works as the ideal choice for an occasion this special.

 

 

For men, Rakhi dressing is about finding pieces that signal celebration without sacrificing comfort. NGA's Surrealist kurta set strikes that balance perfectly—The cut is clean and contemporary, while the details are reflective of Indian roots, show in a modern way.

In a world of increasing visual noise, Wabi Sabi's kurta with pyjama pants embodies that Japanese-influenced minimalism that feels easy, yet occasion-appropriate.

 

 

For those who prefer something with more structured elegance, Suket Dhir's Rainforest Bade Miyan kurta in oyster grey is the perfect intersection of traditional craft and contemporary sensibility. The muga satin silk feels luxurious without being ostentatious, while the sophisticated oyster grey tone brings nuance.

Dhruv Vaish's front-open bandhgala set is for the man who appreciates subtle innovation within traditional frameworks. The bandhgala's inherent formality is softened by the contemporary cut, which makes it the ideal choice.
