I don't use plastic beads; instead, I hand-braid cotton threads and add wooden accents, so you get a piece that feels light on the wrist and looks one-of-a-kind. ### Why My Rakhis Are Different I believe festivals should be colorful, not cluttered. Whether it is my AksharBandhan initial line or the hand-cut clay pieces, I avoid mass-produced plastic beads entirely. You will find wood, glass, metal, and high-quality cotton thread in everything I make. **The AksharBandhan Collection** These are my signature initial rakhis. Each one features a hand-painted letter on a wooden base, surrounded by my signature psychedelic patterns. Because I paint these by hand, no two pieces are identical. You get a personalized touch that mass-market options simply cannot match. **Clay & Floral Keepsakes** If you prefer something softer, my clay rakhis are a personal favorite. From floral motifs to subtle leaf designs, these are baked and varnished for durability. They are light, comfortable, and designed to look great even after the festival—many of my customers reuse the central piece as a bag charm or keychain. **Thoughtful Lumbas** For the festive Lumbas, I incorporate real pearls, wooden beads, and intricate charms. These are designed to swing and jingle, bringing that perfect bit of joyful chaos to your festivities. Since I work from a home studio and make everything in small batches, my designs change often based on the materials I find. If you see a style you love, it is best to grab it before that specific batch is gone. ## About Khyatiworks I'm Khyati, and I run my studio right from home between my IT day job and life with my daughter and pets. I don't believe in mass-producing festive threads; I'd rather make a few vibrant, one-of-a-kind rakhis that you'll actually want to wear.
