Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ordering handcrafted rakhis from Bikaner. Still have a question?

Ordering

How do I place an order?

Browse the catalog, add your chosen rakhis to the cart, fill in your name, delivery address, and WhatsApp number, then tap "Open WhatsApp order." This builds your complete order message automatically. Papa reads every message personally and replies within a few hours to confirm and share payment details.

How do I pay for my order?

After sending your WhatsApp order, papa will reply with UPI payment details. Pay via GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, or bank transfer and let him know once done. He'll confirm receipt and dispatch your order. Shipping is free — the price you see is the price you pay.

What is the last date to order for Raksha Bandhan 2026?

Order by 20 August 2026 to be sure your rakhi arrives before Raksha Bandhan (28 August 2026). For cities far from Bikaner, we recommend ordering by 15 August to allow transit time.

Can I order rakhi in bulk for an office or event?

Yes — WhatsApp us directly at +91 90797 33925 with your quantity and budget. We offer bulk pricing for orders of 10 pieces or more.

Products

Are your rakhis actually handmade?

Every single rakhi is made by hand in papa's workshop in Bikaner, Rajasthan. No machines, no assembly line. Seven years of craft, checked by hand before every order goes out.

What types of rakhi do you sell?

We have seven categories: Traditional (including devotional Ganesha and Om designs), Kundan (stone-set), Meenakari (enamel), Evil Eye, Statement (bold designer styles), Kids, and Bhaiya-Bhabhi matching sets. Browse the full catalog or filter by category.

Are the colours and sizes accurate in the photos?

We photograph every design against a neutral cream background with consistent lighting. Screen colours vary, but we aim to represent the actual rakhi as faithfully as possible. If you have questions about a specific design, WhatsApp us before ordering.

Delivery

Do you deliver all over India?

Yes — we deliver pan-India with free shipping included in every price. Orders reach most cities in 3–7 business days after dispatch. Bikaner city orders typically arrive same day or next day. Tracking is shared on WhatsApp once your order is dispatched.

Do you ship rakhis internationally?

Currently we ship within India only. WhatsApp us for international enquiries — we'll check feasibility for your country.

How do I track my order?

Papa sends tracking updates directly over WhatsApp as soon as your rakhi is dispatched. You'll receive the courier tracking number and can message him at any point for a status update.

Catalog & Wishlist

What is the "Create a catalog" feature?

Sisters can shortlist rakhis from our catalog and share a link with their brother. He opens the link, picks which designs he likes, and sends his choices back via WhatsApp in one tap. Everything happens in the browser — no account or app needed.

Is my shortlist saved if I close the browser?

Yes — your draft catalog is saved in your browser's local storage. It will be there when you return to the same device and browser. Use the "Share with brother →" button to generate your shareable link before closing.

Is my data safe? Do you store personal information?

Your cart and wishlist draft are stored only in your browser's local storage — never sent to us unless you complete checkout. When you place an order via the online payment flow, your name, delivery address, phone number, and order details are securely stored in our Firebase database (Google Cloud) so we can fulfil your order and verify your payment. This data is used only for order fulfilment and is never sold or used for marketing — it's shared only with our shipping courier and, for online payments, our payment partner Razorpay.
