Hitāhāra: Bonds that Nourish

Thoughtfully designed, this eco-conscious rakhi is a symbol of the nourishing bond between siblings, a meaningful gift idea, perfect for expressing love and care in a sustainable manner. Embrace the tradition of Raksha Bandhan while treading lightly on the planet.

In Ayurveda, "Āhāra" refers to not just the food we consume but everything we take in from our environment - sensory impressions, emotions, and thoughts - all the inputs that nourish the mind, body and spirit. “Hitāhāra” refers to “wholesome nourishment”. A balanced diet according to one's constitution (dosha) is crucial for maintaining optimal health. Food should not only be nutritious but also sustainable for the environment. Fostering healthy relationships is also a key contributor to overall health. They can enhance our sense of well-being and positive emotions and provide us with emotional nourishment and support.

Celebrate this Raksha Bandhan with these unique rakhis that incorporate all these aspects – the food that nourishes us as well as the bonds that nurture and protect both us and the environment. Raksha Bandhan is a festival celebrated to commemorate the bond between siblings, where sisters tie a sacred thread (Rakhi) around their brothers' wrists, celebrating the cherished bond of love that unites them. This Raksha Bandhan, take the opportunity to reflect on the importance of preserving our cultural heritage in harmony with our commitment to sustainable living. We can still embrace our traditions while treading lightly on the planet, making this festival even more meaningful and impactful.

In the pursuit of striving to honour traditions while protecting the environment with a more mindful celebration, we have used natural materials to create minimal, elegant and unique Rakhis. Each creation goes beyond mere aesthetics and embodies the essence of sustainability and mindful living. As we tie these eco-friendly, plant-based Rakhis on our sibling’s wrist, let us remember that every small choice we make has the potential to create a positive impact on the environment. This Raksha Bandhan, let your celebrations ignite a spark of positive change for our world and future generations.
