A handpainted Rakhi is a small folk art you tie on your brother's wrist. Artisans paint, each one by hand, a Pattachitra figure, a Madhubani peacock, a mandala worked out ring by ring, so no two come out quite the same. This is iTokri's handpainted handmade Rakhi collection for Raksha Bandhan 2026, bringing together Rakhis painted in India's folk art traditions, most of them made to be kept long after the thread comes off. Everything you see here is on our shelves and ready to go.
The Rakhis in this collection are handpainted in different Indian folk art traditions, each using techniques associated with that craft.

Handpainted Rakhis are precious because these are painted on wood, terracotta, and leather instead of loose thread, they do not disappear into a drawer the next day. Once the thread is untied, the painted piece can sit on a shelf, stay on as a small keepsake, be converted into a keychain charm or a fridge magnet. You are really buying a tiny piece of folk art that happens to arrive as a Rakhi. If you love our idea of reusable Rakhis and giving them a second life, explore our blog for thoughtful ways to reuse a handpainted Rakhi after Raksha Bandhan.
For a married brother, the Bishnupur handpainted fabric Rakhi and Lumba set pairs his wrist Rakhi with a Lumba Rakhi for your sister-in-law's bangle, both painted in the same hand. Order one Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi set, and both of them are covered.
Posting one to a brother abroad? A flat painted Rakhi packs and travels easily, and we send Rakhi worldwide, with dedicated pages for the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. The cost and delivery time show at checkout. So, order before the first week of August to send Rakhi online on time.
What you are paying for here is a person's brushwork, so it matters who held the brush. We name the traditions and the artists, from Pattachitra painters in West Bengal to Madhubani artists in Bihar, and we keep their work in our own stock rather than making it to order, which is why it ships the moment you buy. Since 2012, iTokri has worked directly with more than 10,000 artisan partners across 500 craft clusters like Ekibeki, Abira Creations, and Samoolam. Add Rakhi sweets, a gift card, or gift for brother or a Rakhi gift for sister to the same order if you like.
While you are here, see the other handmade Rakhis on iTokri like Wooden engraving Rakhi, Dokra Rakhi, Patwa Rakhi, Seed Rakhi, and Crochet work Rakhi.
