"Celebrate Rakshabandhan with a Gift That Grows

Celebrate Rakshabandhan 2026 with the Kanika Plantable Rakhi by Scrapshala, a handcrafted eco-friendly seed rakhi inspired by the extraordinary beauty hidden within nature's tiniest creations.

Derived from the Sanskrit word Kanika, meaning a tiny grain or seed, this elegant plantable rakhi symbolises how the smallest beginnings blossom into lifelong relationships. The floral artwork is meticulously handcrafted using yellow mustard seeds, black mustard seeds, and naturally fragrant green fennel seeds, arranged into a blooming flower on a natural oak cork base. Finished with traditional cotton Mauli thread and embedded with 15+ live plant seeds, the rakhi can be planted after Raksha Bandhan to grow into a living plant.

The natural fennel seeds lend the rakhi a gentle, refreshing aroma, creating a beautiful sensory experience that brings warmth and joy to your Rakshabandhan celebrations.
