Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi) festival is coming on 5th Augusut 2009, so if you are selling Rakhis or Rakhi Gifts either offline or online then, this is the right time to buy rakhi from wholesalers. As Rakhi is celebrated all over India and around the world, there is lot of demand of Rakhis during the Rakha Bandhan.

Generally wholesalers making the Rakhis thourghtout the year and they sell those Rakhis to retailers and mini wholesalers 2 - 3 month before Rakhi (Raksha Bandhan) fesitval. Currently approx 1.5 month to go for Raksha Bandhan, so I believe that you should buy Rakhis from wholesale market if you are selling the same. As its some early days, you can see variety of designs in Rakhi and also you can buy at good price.

Genrally trend is that ratailers, mini wholesalers and online stores buying Rakhis around this time. Around mid of July you will see Rakhis in retails stores. Many of retailers do repacking the same. Also they need to put the price tags as well on each Rakhis.
