The tradition of lumba rakhi started for
the brothers who are married and is very prevalent in the Marwari families of
India. Unlike the traditional rakhi which are meant to be tied by the sister on
the brother’s wrist, the lumba rakhi is meant for the sister is laws, i.e the
wife of the brothers. These lumba rakhis are now very famous and you can get
beautiful and fancy lumba rakhi from
both online and offline stores. The significance of these lumba rakhis are as
follows:
1)
Unity
between family
As the country of India is built of the
importance of the bond between families, lumba rakhis are given to the sister
in law to bring protection to the family of the brother. It stands for
happiness as better times are written for everyone when the family is at peace.
2)
The
couple’s security
A marriage is between the couple but as
sisters, we can help them strengthen their bond. As we sisters tie rakhis on
Raksha Bandhan to both our brother and sister in law, we bless them on their
bond to stay together, forever. Therefore, lumba rakhis are a representation of
security and long term bond.
Tie this ritual together with gifts, and
strengthen your blessings. Gifting presents are also integral parts of Raksha
Bandhan therefore do not forget to get both your brother and sister in law
gifts to solidify the tradition and your best wishes. From couple gifts to
hamper goodies to jewelry or precious metals, there are many options to choose
from for the perfect gift. If you want to make the experience even more
personalized, get the couple nostalgic gifts or ones that commemorate your
memories.
