Zari Zardozi Rakhi
Zari Zardozi Rakhi is a traditional yet extremely popular style of
Rakhi. Zari Rakhis make use of fine gold or silver thread to weave
intricate patterns in Rakhi while low-cost modern versions of zardozi
Rakhi use synthetic metallic thread.
In Zardozi Rakhi, Zari is not just
used to make the Rakhi Thread but also the centre piece or the base of
Rakhi. Zari pattern in the base is usually very rich in appearance. This
is further decorated with beads, kundans, sequins, pearls or even
semiprecious stones to give Rakhi an ornate and artistic appearance.
Golden Zari Rakhi is more popular than silver Zari Rakhi. Sometimes the
Zari Rakhi is given a colorful look. At times, a zari base is given to
the Resham Thread Rakhi to give it a shimmering look. While in some
Rakhi, Zari is used to highlight the design and is not the basic element
of Rakhi.
