Handmade Bappa Silver — Rakhi for Brother

Bappa rides on this thread the way he rides everywhere in an Indian home — quietly, close to hand. 925 silver, cast small enough for a wrist, minimal enough that it doesn't compete with the day it's worn on.

This rakhi is built around a small Bappa motif in 925 silver — a minimalist take on a figure that shows up in some form in most Indian homes, invoked here for protection rather than decoration. The cotton thread keeps it light and easy to tie; the silver keeps it from being disposable. Roli and chawal come included, so the ceremony itself needs nothing extra. After Raksha Bandhan, the charm comes off the thread easily and moves onto a chain — Bappa stays close, the rakhi becomes a pendant.
