This site's variety is massive, and the green-round-shaped eco-friendly rakhi is our favorite. It's got a cute tree design that's so minimal yet so classy. But Abhika has clay rakhis too, with names and initials written on them, and in case you're looking for customization in names or wacky quotes on the rakhis, feel free to get in touch with them.

Gargi, the founder of this awesomesauce brand that initially used to just sell plantable rakhis, has given it a twist this year. This Aurangabad-based woman is creating gender-neutral plantable rakhis that all genders can buy. She's also run an online campaign called #MeriBehenMeriTakat.
