Agartala Aug 02: With barely a few days to go for Raksha Bandhan festival , considered to be one of the important festivals observed over the years, markets are witnessing heavy rush of sisters to choose the best designed Rakhis for their brothers.
Several shops in different markets have already displayed the Rakhis of different designs for customers and an early business trend is reportedly giving positive vibes.
Speaking to reporters, a Rakhi trader said, “Business this year is pretty good in the initial days. The Rakhi festival is scheduled on August 11 next but in our state Raksha Bandhan is observed for the whole week so we hope the footfalls of customers will only rise in the days to come”.
On designs, he said, several designs are on display but those designs which are based on the theme of “threads” are of high demand. “The prices are also very affordable. The Rakhis tha we sell at a flat price of Rs 50 to 100 per bundle could be easily retailed at Rs 10 to 20 each.
The retail shops have already started stocking Rakhis and we hope this pre-festive market will turn out to be a good one for all the traders”, said a wholesaler.
