Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi History
The history of the Raksha Bandhan or Bhai Dooj (the festival of brother-sister) custom in India goes back many centuries in Indian culture. The celebration originally took place between brothers and sisters, but with the expansion of extended families and changing social structures (especially with the arrival of the British), it has evolved to include the sister-in-law in the festival.
The concept of the Lumba Rakhi started with the Marwari community in Rajasthan, where the sister-in-law was given an equal place within the extended family as the sister, to help maintain family harmony. Over time, the Lumba Rakhi and Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi sets became a beautiful representation of unity and respect for each other.
Today, this tradition is being celebrated all over India, and it is one of the most popular customs relating to Raksha Bandhan.
What is a Lumba Rakhi?
Lumba Rakhi is a special type of rakhi designed specifically for the bhabhi (sister-in-law). Unlike traditional rakhis that are worn on the wrist, lumba rakhis are typically worn:
- On the bangle,
- On the bracelet,
-
On the right-hand wrist of the sister-in-law.
They are often more decorative and luxurious than traditional rakhis and can have various types of embellishments, such as:
- Beads,
- Mirrors,
- Moissanite stones,
- Spiritual motifs,
-
Intricate details, etc.
The lumba rakhi represents the blessing the sister gives to her brother for his entire happy Married Life and Family.
Where do You Wear a Lumba Rakhi?
Traditionally, the lumba rakhi is tied to the right hand or right bangle of the sister-in-law. According to Indian customs, the right hand is an auspicious and sacred area because it is a representation of:
- Positive energy,
- Blessings from god,
- Prosperity,
- Spiritual purity.
By tying the bhaiya bhabhi rakhi set on the right side, you are wishing to provide happiness, security, and unity within the family.
