A jeweller in Surat said, "The festivals are very important for India and when the festival of siblings is round the corner, our company has introduced Rakhis in a unique way. Last year, we had started this unique concept of using real diamonds for making Rakhis; continuing the same concept, we are introducing Rakhis priced at rupees 10,000 to 30,000 in the market."
