Lumba or Bhabhi Rakhi, a symbol of love, is the beautiful string tied on the bangle/wrist of your bhabhi (your brother's wife). This custom originated among Marwaris but is now embraced by many other communities.

According to Hindu tradition, a wife is considered an "Ardhangini," meaning "half of the man's body." Therefore, no ritual is complete without his wife's participation. This tradition of Lumba or Rakhi for Bhabhi stems from this belief.

The Lumba Rakhi, also known as Bhabhi Rakhi, is a beautiful string tied on the bangle or wrist of a sister-in-law (brother's wife) during Raksha Bandhan. This tradition originated amongst Marwari communities but has become increasingly popular across India.

There are several significant meanings behind the Lumba Rakhi:

• Protection and Well-being: Like the Rakhi tied on a brother's wrist, the Lumba Rakhi symbolises a promise of protection and well-being for the sister-in-law. It signifies that she is a cherished member of the family.
• Strengthening Bonds: The Lumba Rakhi fosters a stronger bond between the sister-in-law and her sibling-in-law. It represents their acceptance and love for each other.
• Marital Security: In some communities, the Lumba Rakhi is seen as a symbol of wishing for a secure and happy married life for the couple.
