Raksha Bandhan comes only once a year and deserves to be celebrated with full gusto. Don’t you remember those nostalgic days of getting together with siblings and extended families? When we all used to celebrate the occasion with traditional Pujas, rituals, feasting and of course, oodles of fun! However, that was another time and age; nowadays, with a hectic and fast-paced lifestyle, we don’t really have time to spare like before. In fact, many of us even live away from our family members and that’s why the modern-day Raksha Bandhan should be observed in a unique way.
Suppose you have your brother in the USA and are missing him terribly on the occasion. You can now celebrate Rakhi virtually and make the day memorable for your dearest sibling. Here are some tips on how you can do it.
Tips on Planning a Virtual Rakhi Celebration for Your Brother
Planning a virtual Rakhi celebration for your brother in the USA is not as hard as you think. No matter how far away you are from each other, it’s always possible to plan something that makes you both feel special. Here are a few tips that may help in this regard.
Send Rakhi to USA
You can easily send your Rakhi to USA to surprise your brother on the occasion. There are tons of choices available at leading online gifting platforms. You’ll find everything from traditional Ganesha and Rudraksh Rakhis to Evil Eye protection Rakhis, Spiderman Rakhis and a lot more. Check and compare delivery options and make sure that the Rakhi reaches your brother in time.
Set Up a Video Call
Plan and set up a video call with your dear brother in the USA at a time which is convenient for both of you (accounting for time zone differences). You can tie your Rakhi to him virtually (he can slip on the one you sent him for the occasion) and you can both carry out the rituals like applying Tika on his forehead and also feasting on sweets together. It will be the highlight of your day as you both relieve childhood memories and pray for each others’ wellbeing and safety above everything else.
Include Rakhi Goodies with Your Gift
It’s not just about sending a Rakhi to USA; you can include several goodies with your gift after picking from the options available online. These include the traditional Roli Chawal and also delicious sweets like Rasgulla, Laddoos, Barfi and more. At the same time, you can include tempting dry fruits, chocolates and other snacks in your Rakhi hamper. Put in a personalised photo frame or mug showcasing a special memory or add a handwritten note and you’re done! It will be a fabulous hamper to surprise your brother in the USA.
Create a Picture or Video Reel to Show Your Brother
You can consider creating an innovative video reel or gallery of pictures that you can play as a slideshow. These can be related to your Raksha Bandhan memories over the years along with other special moments. Get on that video call, watch these together and reminisce about the good times you shared together.
Spend a Memorable Rakhi with Your Brother Virtually
You can make it a memorable Rakhi for your brother by celebrating virtually. The above-mentioned tips will help you set the tone for a fabulous time with your dearest sibling. Here’s wishing you a wonderful time ahead this Raksha Bandhan!
