Eco-Friendly Plantable Seeds Rakhi

Significance Of The Rakhi Festival & Its Tradition

Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi, is one of the most beautiful festivals celebrated across India. It falls on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravana (Shravana Poornima).

The festival honors the special bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a sacred thread, called Rakhi, on their brother’s wrist, apply tilak on his forehead, perform aarti, and pray for his long life and well-being. In return, brothers promise to protect their sisters and often give them Raksha Bandhan gifts.

A beautiful story from the Mahabharata is often associated with Rakhi. After Lord Krishna hurt his finger while killing Shishupala, Draupadi tore a piece of her saree and tied it around his wound. Moved by her gesture, Krishna vowed to always protect her. This tale beautifully reflects the spirit of Raksha Bandhan which is a promise of care, protection, and unconditional love.

Why Bombay Greens Evolved the Idea of Launching Eco-friendly Rakhi?

During the rakhi festival, the sister chooses the best rakhi for her brother that she gives him as a symbol of her love, appreciation and protection. There are numerous types and designs available at this time, but not all rakhis are made with natural or eco-friendly materials. Thus, once used, they end up in landfills or dumps where the materials used do not decompose well. 

That’s when Bombay Greens evolved the idea of launching eco-friendly Rakhi hampers and plantable Rakhi so that you can celebrate the festival without worrying about its environmental effects. This way, you can use Rakhi gifts that grow into plants once the festivities are over. 

You can celebrate this festival of love by gifting green Rakhi gift boxes to your siblings. It is truly a gift that keeps on giving.
