Rakhi Styles of Yesteryears

Presently we spot a great amount of changes in the styles, designs, patterns, materials in Rakhi we use today. All these have undergone remarkable changes from that time. In them, a number of the styles were very widespread. Cotton or Silk Thread Rakhi is one of them, which was a plain strand to knot in the region of the wrist of the brother by his sister. The people with low income used cotton and the families with high income used silk thread.

Mouli Rakhi is another form and it is an unusual type of thread that is used in Hindu Dharma pujas and rituals. These were mostly in red color and fixed on the wrist of those who take part in special Hindu rites. The Divine Rakhi was also very much in demand that included the emblem of Hindu Dharma, like the 'Shree' sign, the 'Om' sign and 'Swastika' signs.

Ram Rakhi was among the simplest rakhi available which was prepared of silk threads. This form was a plain filament without any decorations. One more kind of fashion rampant in the past and which is evenly significant at the moment is the Zari Rakhi. It was followed by the silk thread.

Resham Rakhi and Floral Rakhi are two other popular forms available at that moment. The former was followed by the Silk or cotton threads which was soft in touch and look bright. On the other hand, Floral Rakhi was enormously good-looking and filled with natural sweet fragrance.
