Rakhi is a festival of love, a celebration of a lifelong bond between siblings. Rooted in Hindu tradition, Raksha Bandhan is celebrated across India, with sisters tying a sacred rakhi on their brother’s wrist and receiving love, blessings, and often a sweet surprise in return.
Celebrated across India in many forms-Rakhi Poornima in the North to Avani Avittom in the South- this day brings people together, no matter their background. Whether you begin with a pooja at home or gather for a joyful family brunch, Rakhi is a reminder that love, like tradition, lives and thrives in the little rituals.
This year, celebrate in style with Rakhi outfit ideas that feel festive and effortless. From pastel kurta sets to printed co-ords and dreamy sarees, we’ve handpicked Indian festive wear for women that’s made for memories, made to move with you.
Kurta Sets That Feel Like Festivity in a Breeze
There’s something so effortlessly beautiful about a soft pastel kurta set on Rakhi morning. Whether you’re heading for a pooja at home, a festive lunch at work, or just spending the day surrounded by family, a light embroidered kurta is always a win!
Think Mulmul’s signature touches: lace, trims, scalloped hems and delicate threadwork and fabrics that feel like a soft breeze against your skin. These kurtas sets are perfect when you want to feel dressed up without overdoing it.
Pair your Mulmul kurta sets with subtle earrings and a sleek potli, and you’re ready for anything the day brings.
These aren’t just festive- they’re your go-to when comfort meets celebration.
Co-ords for Brunch, Selfies & Sister Vibes
Printed co-ord sets are the MVP of Raksha Bandhan outfits this year. They’re cool, modern, and made for movement; ideal for girls who love dancing around with their siblings or capturing the perfect family photos before the guests arrive.
Mulmul’s co-ords strike the right balance between traditional and trendy. Soft prints, flattering fits, and easy silhouettes make them perfect for house parties or a chilled-out brunch.
Style them with festive juttis and a scalloped potli, and you’ve got a Rakhi look that’s as playful as the day itself. If you’re searching for Indo-Western outfits for the occasion, this one’s a no-brainer.
Soft Sheer, Fully Festive
For those planning a more dressed-up rakhi, nothing beats the soft grace of an organza saree. Mulmul’s organza edit features delicate florals, scalloped borders, and the kind of drape that makes you feel like you’re floating.
These sarees work beautifully for evening get-togethers, family dinners or just when you want to feel extra special. Keep it dreamy with a pair of statement earrings, a low bun and a swipe of your favourite lipstick.

The Finishing Touches: Bags, Juttis & Sparkle
No Rakhi outfit is complete without the right accessories. Add an embroidered potli, fun juttis and delicate festive earrings to bring your whole look together.
For kurta sets and sarees, try pastel juttis and a lace detailed bag. For co-ords, go playful with bold earrings and a pop of color. And if you’re gifting for rakhi, these accessories double up as sweet little surprises for your sister or bhabhi.
Indian festive wear and potli bags aren’t just functional; they’re the sparkle that pulls your Raksha Bandhan look together.
