Top 7 gadget gift ideas for your brother this Raksha Bandhan

The term Raksha Bandhan stands for ‘Raksha’ meaning ‘protection’ and ‘Bandhan’ meaning ‘ties or bond’. It literally stands for the bond of protection. It has historical importance in Indian tradition and the Hindu religion. It marks the bond of love between a sister and brother and a sister’s prayer to protect her brother. Mythologically, it has been stated that Draupadi had tied rakhi on the wrist of Lord Krishna for her love to him as a sister. Historically it has been stated that Rani Karnavati, the widow of Chittor, had sent a rakhi to Humayun when in need of help.

With time, it has become a tradition to accompany the ceremony of tying rakhi with the exchange of gifts. It is an auspicious occasion and is celebrated within each family with joy every year. With the tradition of exchanging gifts comes the responsibility of choosing the best gifts for each other. It can be especially daunting for a sister to gift something to their brother as men have a very limited range of gifting options.

But, with technological advances, there are numerous tech gadget gifts for Raksha Bandhan which cannot go amiss. Here is the list of top 7 gadget gifts for your brother this Raksha Bandhan.
