Rakhi Puja Thali items: Rakshabandhan is one of the most popular festivals according to the Hindu calendar. On this day sisters tie rakhi on their brother's hand and ask for a promise to protect them throughout their life. According to the Hindu calendar, Raksha Bandhan falls on the last day of the bright half of the month of Shravan. In 2023, Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on 30 August and 31 August. On the day of Rakshabandhan, sister decorates the puja plate and performs her brother's aarti. But according to astrology, by having these things in Rakhi's plate, with the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, brother gets long life. Let us know which things are necessary to be included in the Rakhi plate and what are its benefits.
Plate
Silver plate is most popular during Raksha Bandhan. In Hinduism the symbols of Om and Swastika are usually placed in the center of the puja plate. If you take a plate from the kitchen of the house, then a new cotton cloth or banana leaf can be spread over it to make a Puja plate. Swastik can be made in the middle of the plate.
Akshat
The rice used for worship is called Akshat, which is unbroken white rice. You can keep the rice in a small bowl. Akshat is applied after Tilak on the forehead during worship.
Roli
Place the roli along with the rice in a small bowl. Roli is used for Tilak on the forehead. The ritual of Rakshabandhan also starts with the tilak of Roli on the forehead. Roli is made by mixing turmeric and lime and is also called kumkum.
Coconut
In Sanatan Dharma, coconut is considered the fruit of the deities. It is used in every auspicious work. It is believed that using coconut while tying Rakhi brings happiness and prosperity in the life of brother.
Kalash
Place a small kalash filled with fresh water on the puja plate. On the day of Rakhi, keep water and sandalwood in a copper vessel in the sister's worship plate. So the blessings of the Gods and Goddesses can remain in the house with this and there will never be any kind of crisis on the brother.
Raksha Potli
Raksha potli should be tied on the wrist. According to religious texts, it was the Raksha Potli that was tied around Lord Indra's wrist. Many gift plates for Raksha Bandhan also include potli but it is filled with small coconuts. According to religious texts, the Raksha potli should be filled with rice, white mustard and gold (or gold thread).
Lamp
The lamp radiates positivity and light. On the other hand, on the auspicious occasion of Rakshabandhan, light a lamp and perform brother's aarti. With this, the love of brother and sister can always remain pure.
Sweet
On the auspicious occasion of Rakhi, there must be sweets in the sister's plate. Brothers are fed sweets after Tilak and Raksha Sutra. It is a belief that by feeding sweets to brother on this day, sweetness remains in the relationship.
