This year, the festival of Raksha Bandhan is looking no less than a royal festival in the markets of Patna, where to make this sacred relationship of brother and sister more precious, the bullion traders have presented such a unique example of their art that everyone is stunned to see it. This time, something unique and miraculous has come up for sale in a prestigious jewelery showroom in Boring Road and Kankarbagh area, considered to be the most posh and busy area of the capital, which has attracted the attention of the rich and elite class of the entire city. Generally, on the auspicious occasion of Rakshabandhan, sisters tie simple rakhis made of cotton, silk or colorful beads and threads on the wrists of their brothers, the price of which ranges from a few rupees to a few hundred rupees. But in this era of changing times and skyrocketing hobbies, the shine of gold and diamonds has given this traditional festival a completely new and luxurious look. This time, at a well-known jewelery shop in Patna, a Rakhi was prepared which did not fall in the category of any ordinary thread or Kalava, but was completely designed in the form of a precious gold and diamond studded bracelet. Common people were shocked to hear the price of this high-end designer Rakhi, because this is not an ordinary Rakhi but has been sold at a huge price of Rs 9.5 lakh i.e. Rs 9.5 lakh. This is perhaps the first time in the history of Patna when such a huge and shocking price has been paid for a single Rakhi in the Rakshabandhan market. This unique purchase has created a sensation not only among the local media but also among the businessmen of the entire state and people are desperate to know who is the rich man who bought this royal Rakhi, who opened the mouth of the safe completely in love for his sister.
Features of this royal Rakhi with gold-diamond bracelet
When detailed information was taken from the jewelery traders about the design and workmanship of this extraordinary and royal Rakhi worth nine and a half lakh rupees, they said that in making it, a wonderful confluence of the art of the country’s top designers and traditional goldsmiths was seen. This Rakhi was designed in such a way that after the festival is over, the brother can wear it on his hand forever like a normal kada or bracelet, so that it becomes an invaluable token of the sister’s love for a lifetime and not just a one-day bond. In this bracelet-like Rakhi, a base of pure 22 carat gold has been used, on which genuine and shiny diamonds of international standards have been studded with utmost detail. Apart from this, a very attractive and shining gem has also been placed in the middle which is spreading its light from a distance. Talking about the weight of this unique Rakhi, along with the sufficient amount of gold in it, a special certificate of the cutting and purity of the diamonds has also been given, which guarantees that what the customer is getting is completely genuine and certified. Jewelery manufacturers say that in today’s modern era when people can buy jewelery worth lakhs of rupees on weddings or big festivals, the demand for such premium and luxury products has started increasing rapidly even on the biggest family festival like Rakshabandhan. Big industrialists, big businessmen and people belonging to high-profile families now want to buy something different and memorable instead of the common Rakhis available in the market which can become a symbol of their pride and prestige in the society. This Rakhi worth nine and a half lakhs has proved that Patna’s Saraf Bazaar is now completely ready to adopt high-tech and luxury trends on the lines of metropolitan cities.
Huge crowd and luxury trend in the bullion markets of Patna
On this holy festival of Raksha Bandhan, even though the shops of common and cheap Rakhis were decorated in the squares and markets of Patna and the general public was shopping as per the budget, but on the other hand, there was a rush of customers in the big and famous jewelery showrooms of the city. Big branded showrooms in areas like Boring Road, Fraser Road and Patliputra Colony had specially launched ‘Gold and Diamond Rakhi Collection’ to cash in on Rakshabandhan this time. The initial price of gold rakhis available at these shops was starting from fifteen to twenty thousand rupees, which was gradually going up to lakhs of rupees. Shopkeepers say that despite the increase in the prices of gold and silver this time compared to the last few years, there is no decrease in the enthusiasm of the customers, rather people are investing openly in gold coins, silver puja plates and such designer rakhis which will remain safe in future also. Ever since the news of the sale of this diamond bracelet rakhi worth Rs 9.5 lakh spread on social media and local newspapers, many other rich families of the city have also started contacting jewelers to get similar customized and designer rakhis made on order. Due to such high-profile purchases in the market, not only are the faces of businessmen happy, but the pace of the economy also seems to be picking up. This type of luxury trend has shown how fast the scope of wealth and modern lifestyle is now expanding in the capital of Bihar, where a very beautiful and expensive combination of tradition and modernity is being seen.
Interesting discussion on this unique confluence of tradition and modernity
A very interesting and long debate has erupted in every corner of Patna city and on various platforms of social media regarding this expensive and luxurious Rakhi worth nine and a half lakh rupees. While one section of the society is calling it a way to celebrate the festival with immense love between brother and sister and as per one’s status, the other section is considering it as wasteful expenditure to spend such a huge amount on a single bangle or Rakhi. However, economists and experts believe that when a person buys gold or diamond jewellery, the money is not wasted but is a safe investment, which can be used anytime when needed. Raw silk thread has been used for centuries to express love for sister, and even today crores of people of the country celebrate this festival with the same traditional and sacred spirit, but with time, the ways of celebrating it in rich families have definitely become a bit grand and expensive. This huge crowd gathered in the markets of Patna amid tight security arrangements by the DCP and the police administration and this historic purchase of nine and a half lakh rupees has proved that with how much enthusiasm, enthusiasm and grandeur this festival of Rakshabandhan is celebrated in Bihar. Whether Rakhi is made of simple cotton thread or this expensive bracelet studded with diamonds worth crores of rupees, every brother and sister have only one feeling in their mind that their sacred relationship should always remain safe and they should stand with each other like a rock in every happiness and sorrow. This unique incident in Patna has made this year’s Rakshabandhan memorable forever in the entire country and this royal Rakhi will be discussed everywhere for many years to come.
