Your brother is probably the only human being who you know better than yourself and that’s why choosing the right kind of rakhi is a very integral part of the Raksha Bandhan plan. Checkout the gallery above to pick the right kind of rakhi that matches your brother’s personality.

Dressing up for the big day is always the best part. Whether you want to go hard core desi or you want to keep it contemporary-festive, we’ve got some trendy picks for you that we have spotted recently. Aza fashions can also be a great one-stop for all kinds of dressy numbers for the festival.

You know it’s about time you bury the hatchet for all the times your brother has acted out because let’s be honest, no one’s perfect. Celebrate this day with only good vibes and hilarious memories from your childhood. Perhaps booking a table at his favoruite restaurant can be the perfect end to the auspicious day.

So tell us, what do you guys think about the 3 step plan? We suggest you take matters in your own hands and make this festival one special day for your brother who has always tried to make every day special for you! (Aww… I think I’m going to cry!).
