Rakhi

Pronounced Ra-ki and sometimes also know as a Rakhri; a cotton bracelet

Traditionally given at Raksha Bandhan (a Hindu festival, literally translating to protection tie)  by a girl or woman to a brother or someone she considers as one. It is to pray for his prosperity, health and well-being, in exchange for a gift.

The modern day brother is now often seen returning this prayer by also tying a Rakhi on his sister.
