Raksha Bandhan / Rakhi Poornima, a Hindu festival to celebrate the love between brothers & sisters in India, is fast approaching. And brothers around the globe with a generous heart may be seriously planning as to what memorable gift to select for their beloved sisters residing in India. Here are some papier-mache gift shopping ideas for them, gifts that are cute & quite affordable as well. Selecting lovely, awe-inspiring gifts of ethnic Indian arts, crafts & textiles, would generate livelihhod for the brilliant artisans, craftsmen & weavers of India, and prevent these highly creative workers of rural India, from shifting to menial jobs for their livelihood. Thus our timeless, ageless arts & crafts of India too would not go permanently extinct, as is being observed gradually, from the surface of this planet.
Sale of festival gifts is a great way to empower the highly creative rural artisans & craftsmen of India, generating livelihood for them, by the sale of these ethnic arts & crafts in a real big way, through online & offline stores worldwide, during such vibrant Hindu festivals. May be this was the reason why our ancient Indian sages have created so many joyous festivals for us fun-loving Indians, non-stop throughout the year. So wise & so thoughtful, so that there's economic freedom & prosperity everywhere, however insignificant a profession may outwardly look.
