Something for Rakhi that isn't another forwarded message
If you're in a different city this Rakhi, or you just want to say more than 'happy rakhi' on the family group, put it on a page: the childhood photos, the fights you both remember differently, and the promises you'd never say to their face.

The design
The Thread
A Raksha Bandhan website for your sister or brother: a letter, a few lines of poetry, childhood photos in order, the promises you've never said out loud, and a 3D rakhi with a lit diya. Works well when you can't be there in person.
- 3D rakhi and diya
- Short verses
- Childhood timeline
- Promises section
A few ways people use it
- For your sister
- A letter from her brother, and a list of promises she can hold you to.
- For your brother
- The stories he'd rather you forgot, and a thank-you you never said.
- When you're apart
- Send it the morning of, before the video call.
Raksha Bandhan, asked
Can a sister make one for her brother?
Yes. Every line is editable, including the headings and promises.
Can I send it with a physical rakhi?
When you publish you get a QR code. Print it and tuck it in with the rakhi.
How long will the page stay up?
A year from publishing. You can renew it after that if you want to keep it.
