Lumba Rakhi for Bhabhi and Sister

What is Lumba Rakhi? 

Lumba Rakhi is a traditional Rajasthani and Marwari custom where a sacred thread is tied to the sister-in-law’s (Bhabhi) bangle (chooda) instead of the wrist. It symbolizes the sister-in-law's acceptance into the family and her role in protecting the household's happiness. On Raksha Bandhan 2026, many families use Bhaiya-Bhabhi lumba sets to honour the couple as a single unit.

Lumba Rakhi - A Tradition for Bhabhi That Completes Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan is a beautiful Indian festival that celebrates the sacred and loving bond between a brother and a sister. But if you grew up in a household where a new bride recently joined the family, you know that the celebration is incomplete without the "Lumba" coming out. Lumba rakhi is a Marwari tradition and practised in Rajasthan and Rajasthani families settled worldwide.

Lumba Rakhi is given to the sister-in-law or the bhabhi as a token of acceptance as the new bride and a new family member.

The Meaning Behind Rakhi and Lumba Sets

The word ‘lumba’ literally means a fringe or a tassel. Historically, in Marwadi families of Rajasthan, the new bride of the family was tied with a lumba on her bangle (chooda) for her well-being and a secure, happy married life. In a deeper sense, the lumba was the acknowledgement of her role as Ardhangini (the better half) of her husband.

Increasingly, the sisters have been tying a rakhi with lumba set on their sister’s bangle on Rakhi day to celebrate both the brother and the sister-in-law.

By tying a Rakhi and Lumba set, a sister ensures that both the pillars of her family - her brother and his wife - are blessed with the same thread of love.

Tying lumba rakhi to the sister-in-law is a beautiful way to include the new bride in the family and make her feel accepted in the new family.

Why Lumba Rakhi is Meant for Bhabhi

The sister-in-law is often the unsung hero of the family, though she handles tons of responsibilities. From taking care of the brother to keeping the family together, a lot depends on the woman of the house or the bhabhi.

Lumba rakhi is tied to her bangle because in Indian tradition, it is believed that the wife is the better half of the husband. Tying a handmade rakhi to her symbolizes that she is equally responsible for the "Raksha" (protection) of the family’s heritage and happiness.
