A silver rakhi (chandi ki rakhi) is a Raksha Bandhan rakhi crafted from certified 925 sterling silver instead of ordinary thread - tied on Raksha Bandhan and worn afterward as a bracelet or pendant.

Order today for same day delivery in Delhi and Mumbai (2–4 hours), or 3-day delivery anywhere else in India, with free shipping on every order.
Raksha Bandhan is one of the few festivals that's really about a single, simple promise - a sister ties a rakhi, a brother promises to protect her, and that thread becomes a small, physical reminder of a bond that lasts long after the festival ends. A silver rakhi takes that idea further: instead of fading or fraying like a cotton thread, it's designed to be worn again, long after Raksha Bandhan is over.
At Zalkari, our chandi ki rakhi collection is handcrafted in certified 925 sterling silver, spanning everything from playful kids' rakhis to elegant pendant and bracelet-style designs for adult siblings. And because Raksha Bandhan doesn't wait for slow shipping, we've built our delivery around it: order from Delhi or Mumbai and get it in 2–4 hours, or order from anywhere else in India and receive it within 3 days.
This guide walks through every style we offer, how pricing works, and what makes silver the material of choice for a rakhi meant to last.
What Is a Silver Rakhi (Chandi Ki Rakhi)?
A silver rakhi is a Raksha Bandhan rakhi made from 925 sterling silver rather than traditional thread, cotton, or synthetic material. Many designs are built around a small silver pendant, charm, or bracelet-style band, often finished with motifs like Om, Ganesha, or simple minimal patterns.
The core difference is longevity. A thread rakhi is meant to be worn for a few days and then removed. A silver rakhi is designed to be worn as jewellery afterward - as a bracelet, a pendant, or a charm - so the sentiment behind it doesn't end when the festival does.
Shop Silver Rakhi by Type
Every sibling relationship is a little different, which is why we've built our collection around how it's actually worn and gifted, not just how it looks.
Kids' Rakhi Designed specifically for younger brothers, our kids' rakhi styles use lightweight, rounded, child-safe silver charms - often featuring playful motifs like cartoon characters, stars, or animals - so they're comfortable for smaller wrists and safe for everyday play. → Shop Kids' Rakhi
Lumba Rakhi A lumba rakhi is traditionally tied by a sister to her sister-in-law (bhabhi) alongside the rakhi for her brother, and is an important part of Raksha Bandhan in many North Indian and Rajasthani households. Our lumba rakhi designs pair beautifully with our bracelet and pendant rakhis for a complete set. → Shop Lumba Rakhis
Pendant Rakhi For brothers who'd rather wear something discreet, a pendant rakhi combines the rakhi thread with a small silver pendant that can later be worn on a chain - a subtle, everyday piece rather than a statement bracelet. → Shop Pendant Rakhi
Bracelet Rakhi Our most popular category - a bracelet rakhi is tied on as a rakhi for the festival and worn as a proper silver bracelet afterward. These are a favourite for brothers who want something they'll actually keep wearing well beyond Raksha Bandhan. → Shop Bracelet Rakhis
Rakhi Combos If you're sending rakhis to multiple siblings, or want to pair a rakhi with a matching lumba rakhi, roli-chawal, or a small gift, our rakhi combo sets are put together for exactly that - thoughtfully paired pieces at a better combined price than buying separately. → Shop Rakhi Combos
Silver Rakhi Designs
Our chandi ki rakhi collection is built around a few core design directions, so there's something for every sibling relationship and personal style:
- Traditional motifs - Om, Ganesha, and other symbols rooted in Indian heritage, for brothers who value classic design.
- Modern, minimal styles - sleek bands and simple silhouettes, often with a single gemstone or subtle detailing, for brothers with contemporary taste.
- Personalized engravings - initials, dates, or a short message, for a rakhi that's genuinely one-of-a-kind.
- Kids-friendly designs - playful, comfortable, and safe for younger wrists (see our Kids' Rakhi collection above).
Every piece is crafted in certified 925 sterling silver, so the finish and comfort stay consistent across every design.
Silver Rakhi Price
Silver rakhi pricing starts at ₹1,099 and depends primarily on design complexity, weight of silver used, and whether the piece includes personalization or gemstone detailing.
Every silver rakhi purchase from Zalkari includes a purity certificate for the 925 sterling silver used, along with free shipping across India - plus same day delivery in Delhi and Mumbai (2–4 hours) if you're ordering close to the festival.
Silver Rakhi for Brother: Choosing the Right Style
A silver rakhi for brother works differently depending on age, personality, and how likely he is to actually keep wearing it:
- For traditional brothers - classic motifs like Om or Ganesha in a bracelet or pendant style.
- For trendy, style-conscious brothers - minimal modern designs, often in a slim bracelet format.
- For younger brothers - our kids' rakhi range, built to be comfortable and safe for everyday wear, not just the festival.
- For brothers who live abroad or are hard to shop for - a rakhi combo set, so the whole gesture (rakhi, lumba rakhi, and a small extra gift) arrives together in one order.

Why Is Raksha Bandhan Celebrated?
Raksha Bandhan, meaning "the bond of protection," is one of India's most emotionally resonant festivals. A sister ties a rakhi on her brother's wrist as a symbol of love and a wish for his wellbeing, and in return, he promises to protect and stand by her.
- Strengthening sibling bonds - the festival is a dedicated moment to acknowledge the mutual care, respect, and responsibility siblings hold for each other.
- A symbol of protection - the rakhi itself represents a sister's prayer for her brother's safety, while his promise in return reinforces that the bond runs both ways.
- Cultural and mythological roots - the festival draws on stories from Hindu tradition, including Krishna and Draupadi, and King Bali and Goddess Lakshmi, both centered on themes of protection and loyalty.
- A festival of unity, not just siblings - in many communities, rakhis are also tied between cousins, close friends, and even soldiers, extending the idea of protection beyond immediate family.
- Historical significance - Raksha Bandhan has also been used historically to forge alliances beyond family, most famously when Rani Karnavati of Mewar sent a rakhi to Emperor Humayun seeking his protection.
