Why we're doing this

Rakhi is meant to be hand-tied. When NRI sisters in USA, UK, Canada, Australia want to send a rakhi with mithai to brothers abroad, they often have to courier the rakhi separately from the sweets, doubling shipping costs and timing risks.

By including hand-tied Hyderabadi rakhis in the same DHL Express box as your mithai, the gift arrives complete and on time. Free, because Rakhi is about love, not adding charges.

What kinds of rakhis are included?

Traditional thread rakhis · classic red-and-gold patterns · standard for most brothers
Beaded rakhis · slightly fancier · for older brothers or special occasions
Kid-friendly cartoon rakhis · for nephews and young brothers (mention in order notes if needed)

We pick the best matching set based on your order. If you have specific preferences, leave a note at checkout.
