A rakhi is a thread, bracelet, or talisman that is tied around a brother's or cousin's wrist during the Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan to symbolize a bond of love, protection, and ritual. The word "Raksha Bandhan" translates to "bond of protection" in Sanskrit. The rakhi is often made of interwoven red and gold threads and is similar to a friendship bracelet, but more ornate.
