Raksha Bandhan, the festival that ties together the precious relationship of brother and sister, with a promise of protection, joy, gifts, and sweets, is something everyone looks forward to. Throughout the years, the tradition has seen quite a few upgrades, mostly focusing on the symbolic meaning of the occasion. What is more exciting though, for the majority of people, is the variety of rakhis that are available in the market now.

A few years ago, the trend was for light-up rakhis, musical rakhis, tassels, glitter, and everything else to maximize the spirit of Raksha Bandhan. But now, to take the ‘non-traditional’ rakhi trend a step further, there has been another addition – the edible rakhi. Let us take a look at the sweetest new trend and enjoy the flavors of the festival.
