Rakhi with chocolates or chocolate rakhi – celebrate Raksha Bandhan in style with the most exhaustive range online in India

Come August and a kind of happy flurry begins. The search for that perfect gift for your brother, a person who shares a bond stronger than any with you, an entity who has seen you at your best – or even at your worst. Yes, it is time to appreciate him for who he is. An equal yet a protector, a competitor yet a comrade, the annoying squealer yet an adorable companion during those mischief-filled escapades. Admit it, without him, the world would be a boring, uninteresting place. Luckily for us, Hindu religion too recognises this special bond through one of the most awaited festivals of all - Rakshabandhan.

India’s history and legends are ripe with interesting stories of how Raksha Bandhan came to be what it is. Marked by the Hindu calendar as the Shravan Purnima or the full moon in the month of Sawan, this auspicious day sparkles as bright as the moon. It is believed that Indra – the king of heaven – was once overpowered and then driven into wilderness by the demon king Daitya. Brihaspati, the Guru of the Gods, advised Indra’s wife Shachee Devi to prepare a talisman and tie it on his wrist. This sacred thread helped Indra ward off the demonic attacks and emerge triumphant.

According to another legend, Yama, the God of death, had a sister named Yamuna. On every Shravan Purnima, she would tie a sacred thread on her brother's wrist,  praying for his long and healthy life. Ironic, but a sweet tale.

From recent history, it is believed that when Alexander’s army was on the verge of being overpowered by Porus, the former’s wife went to Porus and tied him a silken thread, imploring him to spare her husband’s life, which he eventually did.

When Bahadur Shah of Mewar attacked Chittor, Rani Karnawati sent a rakhi to Humayun, the Mughal ruler, asking for his help. Humayun, touched by this gesture, reached Chittor with his army to protect Karnawati.

Till this day, sisters across India and beyond are seen tying rakhi or the sacred thread on the waiting wrists of their beloved siblings, who with all their heart vow to protect their sister from the various challenges that life throws at them. The string then ceases to be a simple thread – it acquires a significance that is pure as well as karmic – a bond of lifelong friendship, of undying love, a symbol of togetherness till eternity.

Without a doubt, such a special alliance needs a special treasuring – through gifts. Gifts say much more than words could ever do. A thoughtful offering will ensure that this bond gets strengthened even more. And, what is more considerate than sending a rakhi with something sweet, something addictive, and something exotic. Yes, you guessed right! We are talking about rakhi with chocolates.
