On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, sisters should pray for the happiness and prosperity of their brother while tying a rakhi. Here is how you can prepare your thali for rakhi

- The second important item to add to your Rakhi plate is a diya or a lamp. According to belief, a lamp has the power to eliminate negative energy. It is used to do aarti of the brother in the hope that no negative energy will come near him.
- Next item that you should add to your rakhi plate is Kumkum. Also known as Roli, Kumkum is considered a symbol of Goddess Lakshmi. Use Kumkum so Maa Lakshmi blesses your brother.
- Also, make sure to add sandalwood to your rakhi plate. As per belief, sandalwood is used to seek blessings from Lord Vishnu and Ganesha.
- Lastly, add some sweets to your rakhi plate. Sweets are exchanged by the brother and sister on rakhi so that the bond remains sweet.
