A rakhi is a decorative thread tied by a sister around her brother's wrist during Raksha Bandhan as a symbol of protection and love. It usually has a central motif, supporting decoration, a thread or band, and a closure.

Can I add a photo to my rakhi?

Yes. Upload a photo and it is placed in the centre of the medallion with a gold frame, so you can make a personalised photo rakhi.

Is the rakhi designer free?

Yes. It runs entirely in your browser, needs no sign-up, and lets you download your rakhi design as an image at no cost.
