parasparam bhavayantaḥ - Sanskrit Rakhi

Raksha (lit. Protection) and Bandhan (lit. Bondage, but used as bond), together the nomenclature means The Bond of Protection. Called by different names in different regions, this festival is celebrated throughout the Indian subcontinent, of course with ritualistic differences. The most consistent and common theme being that of tying a protective thread (an amulet) around the wrist of the brother by his sister as a symbol of protection and thereby receiving blessings and presents in return accompanied by a promise of life-long protection by the brother.

Key Features:

• Silver-Plated: The Rakhi is beautifully silver-plated, giving it a timeless and sophisticated look.
• Sanskrit Quote: Engraved with the Sanskrit quote "परस्परं भावयन्तः ।" from the Bhagavad Gita (3.11), which translates to "Let us take care of each other. आओ हम एक दुसरे का ख्याल रखें।"
• Elegant Design: The intricate design and superior craftsmanship make this Rakhi not just a thread, but a piece of art.

Each copy is typeset by hand in the pandulipi tradition, then checked against
the source text before it is bound.

The pages are thick, uncoated paper, sewn with thread so the book lies flat on
its own — you do not need a hand to hold it open while reading. The cover
boards are polished wood, tied with a cord.

Every piece is finished in our Jaipur workshop.

Wipe the cover with a dry cloth. Keep away from direct sunlight and damp.

Do not fold the pages back on themselves — the binding is made to open flat,
so it does not need forcing.

Stored in a dry place, the paper and thread will outlast the reader.
