Raksha Bandhan is on the 3rd of August and looking at the rising coronavirus cases across the world; it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the situation is going to be the same for some time. That means no stepping out for the Raksha Bandhan celebration this year.
This festival honours the sibling bond and allows them to celebrate together. If you’re still wondering how to make rakhi special this year, then here are some great ideas to celebrate Raksha Bandhan in lockdown with the same zeal & enthusiasm like yesteryears.
Celebrate over a video call
Celebrating the festival digitally is a cool idea. For siblings who can’t visit each other, celebrate rakhi from a distance on a video call. Perform all the rakhi rituals over the call and exchange wishes while stuffing your mouth with delicious sweets.
Online gifts save the day
Markets are crowded & also it is not safe to wander from one shop to another. So sit at home. Relax and order rakhis & rakhi gifts online. There are more varieties online, and you can check out the range that’s in your budget. The online website also provides rakhi delivery across domestic & international destinations that you can avail to send rakhi for your brother who lives away from home in a different city/country.
Delight with digital gifts
If you can’t exchange the gifts physically, then digital gifts are an amazing alternative. Digital gifts like guitarist on-call, e-greeting card, personalised video message, personalised caricature, etc. will surely light up the celebrations.
