New Delhi, August 16, 2007: “Pyar Ki Dori Ne Sansar Bandha Hai”, an old Hindi film song on brother-sister bonding still holds relevance in the world of Internet. Rakhi or Raksha-Bandhan is an Indian festival marked by a customary tying of a colorful band on wrist of every brother by his sister, while she gets a return gift from him symbolizing his love and promise to protect her. Over the years, this festival has become a perfect occasion for brothers and sisters to exchange gifts.
Till a few years ago, Indian brothers or sisters residing away from their siblings had to contend themselves by exchanging wishes or online greetings. IndianGiftsPortal.com changed the trend by launching online Gifts delivery service during Rakhi, in the year 2000, and it was an instant hit! And since then, for IndianGiftsportal.com, Rakhi has been the biggest festival of all.
