Aug 1, 2012   (7 images)

Thanks to Raksha Bandhan, Crawford Market has turned into a visual delight with hundreds of rakhis adorning shops. Like always, one is spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting a rakhi. There are the traditional ganesh embossed ones with zari work, there are the big flowery ones. However, the coolest of them all have to be the superhero rakhis, which also seem set to become the biggest trend this season. While you have the usual suspects - Batman, Superman, Spiderman – you have quirky Angry Birds and Super Mario rakhis too. So, if you have a kid brother or just a geeky one, you now know what to get for him.
