Raksha Bandhan is a festival that beautifully encapsulates the essence of love and protection between siblings. While the tradition of tying a Rakhi around a brother’s wrist is well-known, the custom of gifting a Lumba to your sister-in-law (Bhabhi) adds an extra layer of warmth and inclusivity to the celebration. This gesture not only honors the bond you share with your Bhabhi but also acknowledges her special place in your family.
The Auspiciousness of Lumba
The Lumba Rakhi is more than just a decorative piece; it carries deep cultural and spiritual significance. Originating from the Marwari and Rajasthani communities, the Lumba is traditionally tied to the bangle of the Bhabhi. This practice symbolizes the acceptance and integration of the Bhabhi into the family, signifying that she is an integral part of the familial circle of love and protection.
The word "Lumba" itself means "bangle," and the Lumba Rakhi is designed to adorn and enhance the beauty of this piece of jewelry. It is believed that tying a Lumba to the Bhabhi brings prosperity and harmony to the family, as the Bhabhi plays a pivotal role in maintaining household well-being. This tradition also underscores the idea that the brother’s well-being is closely tied to his wife’s happiness and vice versa.
Why Lumba is Given to Bhabhi
Giving a Lumba to your Bhabhi during Raksha Bandhan is a way of showing respect and love towards her. It acknowledges her role in your brother’s life and by extension, in your own. The gesture conveys that she is cherished and valued, fostering a sense of unity and mutual respect within the family. Moreover, it’s a celebration of the bond you share with her, independent of your brother, highlighting the unique relationship you have built.
