There are two distinct thread groups running through the rakhi. One is red while the other is yellow. Each group passes through a series of beads forming two lines in the center of the rakhi. The series host a solitaire in the centre. The design is simple and small that would feel light on wrist. If you plan to send rakhi to India which is simple and light, this is a great choice. The thread quality and arrangement adds value to the rakhi.
