Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Rakhi – Oxidised Skin-Friendly Maratha Design

A Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj rakhi handcrafted in Satara, Maharashtra by Jija Designer Jewellery, finished in a deep antique oxidised polish. Made from skin-friendly metal that is nickel-free and lead-free, so it sits comfortably on the wrist through the whole day — including for anyone who reacts to ordinary festival jewellery.

Satara sits at the centre of Maratha history, and a rakhi made here carrying Shivaji Maharaj's likeness is not a novelty print — it is a piece finished by hand in the region that remembers him best. For Raksha Bandhan, it suits brothers who would rather wear something with weight to it than a plastic or bright-stone rakhi.

Why Oxidised Works for a Portrait Design

A face is the hardest thing to render in metal at this size — it lives or dies on the detail around the eyes, the turban, the beard. Bright plating flattens all of it, bouncing light evenly across the surface until the features blur into a shine. Oxidising does the opposite: the dark finish settles into every recess and leaves the raised planes catching light, so the portrait keeps its depth even at arm's length. It is why temple jewellery has used this finish for generations. The skin-friendly base metal also avoids the itching and green marks that cheap rakhi alloys leave behind.

Your Questions, Answered
No. This is not 925 sterling silver. It is a skin-friendly alloy with an oxidised antique polish, designed to look like traditional silver-toned jewellery at an affordable price.
Yes. The metal is nickel-free and lead-free, so it is suitable for most people with sensitive skin. If you have a known severe metal allergy, please test-wear briefly first.
No. Skin-friendly metal with oxidised polish does not leave green marks the way low-grade rakhi metal does. Keeping it dry keeps it that way.
The finish is durable for the festival season and beyond with normal care. Contact with water, sweat and chemical polish is what causes fading — avoid these and it holds its colour.
Yes. The tie thread is adjustable and fits children, teens and adults.
Yes. Many customers order multiple rakhis for brothers and cousins, or pair it with a lumba rakhi for bhabhi. Add more from our Rakhi collection.
Yes. Jija Jewels ships pan-India from Satara, Maharashtra. Order early in the Raksha Bandhan week to be safe.
Yes. Because it is metal and not paper or plastic, it stores well and many families keep it as a keepsake or reuse it.

Care guide

Keep away from water, perfume, deodorant and oil — spray fragrance first, wear the rakhi after. Wipe gently with a soft dry cotton cloth after wearing. Do not clean with silver polish liquid, toothpaste, or a metal brush — this strips the oxidised layer and flattens the portrait detailing. Store in a dry zip pouch or airtight box, away from humidity. Remove before bathing, swimming, or sleeping to protect the thread. If it dulls over time, a light dry buff with cotton restores the shine.
