Rakshabandhan 2025: The festival of Rakshabandhan is considered a symbol of brother-sister love. This festival is celebrated on the full moon day of the month of Sawan. On this day, sisters tie Rakhi on the wrists of their brothers and wish them good health, long life, and success. In return, brothers give gifts to sisters and also promise to stay with them for life. However, some things should be avoided as gifts on an auspicious occasion like Rakshabandhan, as they are considered to be associated with bad luck or negative energy. Let us know which items should be avoided as gifts on Rakshabandhan.

Do not give these things as gifts on Rakshabandhan.
Black clothes or items
According to Hindu beliefs, black color is considered a symbol of negativity. The use of this color is often prohibited at festivals. In such a situation, it is not appropriate to gift black clothes or any other item to the sister on an auspicious day like Rakshabandhan. Instead, it is better to choose bright or bright colors, which symbolize positivity and auspiciousness.
Perfume
Perfume is known for its fragrance, but in some traditions, it is not considered appropriate to give it as a gift. It is believed that some fragrances may have negative energy associated with them, which can affect a person's health or relationships. On a holy festival like Raksha Bandhan, it is better to avoid giving such gifts.
Items made of glass
Glass is a fragile and easily breakable object. It is symbolically considered weak and temporary. If you want the relationship between siblings to remain strong and permanent, then do not gift glass items, because gifting them is considered a sign of rift in the relationship.
Watch
In Vedic astrology, the watch is associated with Saturn. According to some beliefs, gifting a watch to someone can be a symbol of countdown of time or distance in the relationship. Some people also believe that the relationship can stop if the watch stops. Therefore, it is better to give some other kind of gift on this occasion.

Sharp objects
In Hindu culture, giving sharp objects as gifts is considered inauspicious. It is believed that this can lead to bitterness in relationships or increase distance in the relationship. Therefore, to avoid any kind of rift in this sweet relationship of brother and sister, such gifts should be avoided.
