Raksha Bandhan gifting trends highlight personalized jewellery and Delhi markets

As the festival of Raksha Bandhan approaches, gifting trends are shifting toward items that offer personal meaning and longevity. Rohan Hemdev, Director of Ananya Jewels, notes a growing preference for personalized jewellery, such as pieces featuring initials or names, alongside classic diamond items like studs and tennis bracelets that can be worn daily.

For those looking to send gifts to siblings living overseas, several traditional markets in Delhi offer specialized options. Dariba Kalan in Chandni Chowk is a historic destination for silver and gold jewellery and metalware. Khari Baoli provides a variety of spices and chai masala, with vendors offering airtight, foil-sealed packaging suitable for long-distance travel. Additionally, Mahila Haat in Darya Ganj is highlighted for its unique stationery, collectibles, and hardbound diaries.
