Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) [India], August 11: Raksha Bandhan falls on Friday, 28 August this year, nearly three weeks later than last year, because the Hindu lunar calendar carried an extra month. iTokri.com, India's largest curated direct-to-consumer platform for handmade textiles and handicrafts, enters the longer window with the largest Rakhi range in its history: more than 2,300 handmade rakhis in stock as of this week, made in small batches by more than 20 named artisan groups and clusters across India, with list prices from Rs 180 for a plantable seed rakhi to about Rs 1,350 for premium copper-enamel and Meenakari sets.
