The Peacock Meenakari Rakhi is a Raksha Bandhan rakhi made from 92.5% BIS hallmarked sterling silver, priced at Rs. 800. A peacock is worked in silver with green meenakari enamel hand-filled into the engraving, zircon tracing the plume and a mother-of-pearl centre stone, on a hand-braided red cotton thread that adjusts to fit children through adults. It ships free across India with cash on delivery available, and includes a roli-chawal container for the tilak ceremony. Unlike thread rakhis that are discarded after the festival, this one is solid silver — it can be kept as a keepsake.

Meenakari enamel is worked into the engraved silver by hand rather than printed or coated — so the colour is part of the piece, not a surface finish. Solid silver, so it keeps as a memento long after the festival.
Your Questions, Answered
Is this rakhi made of real silver?
Yes. This rakhi is crafted from 92.5% sterling silver and is BIS hallmarked for purity.
What is meenakari?
Meenakari is a traditional Indian enamelling craft in which coloured enamel is hand-filled into engraved recesses in the metal and then fired. Because the colour sits inside the engraving rather than on top of the surface, it does not rub off the way paint or coating would.
How is this different from the Morpankh rakhi?
Both use green meenakari on sterling silver. The Morpankh is a single peacock feather, associated with Lord Krishna, and reads as devotional. This one is the full peacock bird with a mother-of-pearl centre, and reads as decorative. Same 92.5% hallmarked silver, same price.
What does the peacock symbolise?
The peacock is associated with beauty, grace and protection in Indian tradition, and is the vahana of Lord Kartikeya. Its feather is worn by Lord Krishna in his crown.
Will the enamel chip or fade?
Fired meenakari holds its colour through normal festive wear. Avoid knocks against hard surfaces and harsh cleaning chemicals to keep it intact.
Will the rakhi fit my brother's wrist?
Yes. The braided cotton thread is adjustable and ties to fit all wrist sizes, from children to adults.
What is included in the package?
You receive the 92.5% silver rakhi on its braided thread, along with a Raksha Bandhan roli-chawal container for the tilak ceremony.
