From Shivmudra and Ashtavinayak to cartoon-character rakhis for children and lightweight 9kt gold bracelets, earrings and necklaces for sisters, a festival range built for every member of the family
Ahead of Raksha Bandhan on 28 August, Gargi by P N Gadgil & Sons, one of India’s fastest-growing silver and fashion jewellery brands, has unveiled its annual Rakhi Collection 2026, with more than 1,000 designs crafted in pure 92.5 sterling silver, each piece hallmarked for purity. This year, the collection widens on both ends of the family: a dedicated kids’ range built around the characters children already love, and a 9kt lightweight gold gifting range of bracelets, earrings and necklaces for brothers buying for their sisters.
Now in its 4th year, the collection has grown into one of the brand’s most anticipated seasonal launches and reflects a clear shift in how Indian families are approaching the festival. Increasingly, the Rakhi is no longer bought as a one-day thread to be set aside the following morning. It is being chosen the way jewellery is chosen: for craftsmanship, for meaning, and for the years it will sit in a drawer being looked at again. Gargi has responded by treating Raksha Bandhan as a gifting occasion in full, not a single-thread purchase.
Designs rooted in belief, made for everyday wear
The 2026 collection spans a wide vocabulary of spiritual and cultural motifs: Shivmudra, Ashtavinayak, Chakra, OM, Swastik, Trishul, Shree and delicate floral engravings, alongside cleaner, contemporary silhouettes for younger buyers who want the sentiment without the ornamentation. The range has been designed with the whole family in mind: statement rakhis for brothers, lumba rakhis for bhabhis, playful lightweight designs for children, and a growing set of pieces bought by brothers for their sisters, a reversal of the traditional gifting flow that Gargi has seen strengthen year on year.
A kids’ collection children pick for themselves
The sharpest addition this year is the children’s range, where the motif does the talking. The line features rakhis inspired by the characters children grow up with, from Captain America and the Minions to Angry Birds and Chota Bheem, among other favourites, rendered in silver rather than plastic and finished as a piece of jewellery instead of a one-day novelty. The designs are deliberately lightweight and comfortable on small wrists, with secure fastenings and smooth finishing, so the rakhi survives a full day of play. For most parents it also answers a familiar problem: the child chooses the rakhi they actually want, and the family still gets purity they can verify.
9kt lightweight gold: real gold gifting for sisters, at a gifting budget
For brothers who want to send back more than a thread, Gargi has introduced a 9kt lightweight gold gifting range created specifically for Raksha Bandhan: bracelets, earrings and necklaces designed to be delicate, everydaywearable and priced for a gifting budget rather than a bridal one. Starting at ₹5k onwards, the range opens up genuine, hallmarked gold at a price point that has traditionally sat out of reach on a festival occasion.
A festival collection with a longer shelf life
Every silver piece in the collection carries Gargi’s purity marking on 92.5 sterling silver, and the gold gifting range is hallmarked, placing both in the same trust framework as the brand’s everyday jewellery rather than the seasonal decorative market. Silver rakhi prices start at ₹199 onwards, keeping the collection accessible to gifting budgets while retaining the material value and finish of fine jewellery.
Aditya Modak, Co-Founder & CEO, Gargi by P N Gadgil & Sons, said:
“Raksha Bandhan is one of the few festivals where the gift is the emotion; there is no other reason for it to exist. What we have watched change over the last few years is that families no longer want that emotion to be disposable. They want purity they can verify, a design that means something, and something that survives the day. That is why we have built this year’s collection outwards, so a seven-year-old can pick a rakhi with his favourite character on it and still be wearing real silver, and a brother can send his sister a 9kt gold bracelet without it being a once-in-a-decade purchase. Whether a sister ties it for her brother or a brother sends one to his sister, we want it to be the piece the family still has ten Rakhis from now.”
Backed by the 194-year-old P N Gadgil & Sons legacy, Gargi has built its proposition on making pure, certified jewellery an everyday category rather than an occasion-only one, a philosophy the Rakhi Collection carries into the festival season.
