Like every other Hindu festival, Raksha Bandhan requires a Puja Thali to perform all the needed rituals for the celebration. Nowadays, several online and offline Rakhi shops offer many beautiful and profuse Raksha Bandhan Puja Thali containing all the needful and religious items for the Puja ceremony. The use of the Puja Thali is to offer prayers to God while performing the aarti of the brothers before tying Rakhi. But, many don’t prefer to buy everyone online or from the markets. And, hence, they want to prepare their Puja Thali on their own at home to ensure there are no loopholes while performing the Rakhi rituals.

To bestow brothers with healthy and blissful life, finding a perfect Rakhi Thali is needed, and thus, here we have this list having everything you need to know while preparing Rakhi Puja Thali:

• Pick either a brass Thali or silver Thali to prepare a Rakhi Puja Thali at home. These metals are chosen because these metals are considered auspicious in the Hindu tradition.
• Make a paste of Roli and turmeric and make a “Swastika” symbol in the middle of the Puja Thali. You can also choose to make an “OM” symbol with the help of the same paste to make the Puja Thali apt for the aarti ceremony.
• After the paste is dried, you can also sprinkle some flower petals to decorate the Puja Thali.
• Roli and rice are the two most important things to be kept in the Thali for the Puja ceremony. You can also put small brass or sliver containers to put roli and rice to decorate your Thali aesthetically.
• Place Ganesha and Laxmi idols on the Thali with some flowers
• And, on the center where you have made Swastika, place the diya and lit it.
• Place a small bowl on the Thali and place some sweets & betel nuts with Rakhi in the Puja Thali.
• You Rakhi Puja Thali is all set and ready for the Raksha Bandhan ceremony!
