Raksha Bandhan is near! But let’s not limit the celebrations to just our siblings or friends and family. Let’s also celebrate our relationship with our natural ecosystem, our agriculture, our farmers and artisans.
These seed bands are made from non-GM (genetically modified) indigenous cotton grown organically by farmers in the village Paradsinga, MP. They are hand-spun into yarn on charkhas by women of Wardha, naturally dyed by artisans of Erode and handmade into beautiful bands by women of Paradsinga, Kelwad, Satnoor, Khairi and Boregaon.
You will support our farmers with each band bought. And when the festivities are over, the rakhi can be planted and will grow into a plant. So the sibling bond you share will give rise to new life and give back to the world in a big way. That’s the way to celebrate!
This rakhi is made from organic cotton and has seeds in them, so after the festivities you can plant it and see your brother-sister bond blossom!
