Rakshabandhan is celebrated as Nariyal Purnima in the western part of the country. Coconuts are thrown into the sea as a mark of
respect and offering to Lord Varuna.

South — The day is celebrated as Avani Avittam. This day is auspicious, especially for the Brahmin community as they change their Janeyu (Holy thread) amid chanting of mantras.

North — Rakhi Purnima also called as Kajri Purnima is celebrated in North India when wheat seeds are sown. Goddess Bhagwati is worshipped and the farmers seek her blessing for good crop cultivation.

East — Initiated long time ago, in 1905 by Rabindranath Tagore in Shanti Niketan, the custom is religiously followed by the students.

These special rakhis have no strings attached to them. Similar to e-Holi and e-Diwali, it’s time to check out e-Rakshabandhan. With technology meeting tradition, e-Rakhis are common on the occasion of Rakshabandha for the tech-savvy youngsters. With different sites offering rakhi greetings, the sisters are opting for e-rakhis, which also means a virtual tilak and virtual laddoo for your brother. “Who wants to get into the trouble of packing the kalewa-chawal and queuing up in line at the post office to send the rakhi via mail, when cyber-rakhi is available at the click of a mouse,” says Sunidhi, who would be sending e-rakhi to her brother in Singapore.
