Like every festival, Rakshabandhan is celebrated in the palace with a lot of happiness. Many types of sweets, food items gets prepared to celebrate the bond of protection. In this day, the helpers are sent to their house so that they can celebrate the festival with their families. On the order from Raghuvendra Singh Rathore, they get gifts to distribute to their brothers and sisters.

Jivika has woken up more earlier than her usual time as she is too much excited for her first Rakshabandhan. She has cooked her brothers favourite food as well as made homemade sweets. She has prepared aarti thali along with Ritika who is as excited as her best friend.

Ritika is excited because she always gets both of her big brother's black cards for 24 hours to use and she buys as many as things she can think of. However, when it comes to Eklavya, Ritika has to give her black card to her little brother who is too young to gift her anything. That's how things are going for years in the palace.

On the other hand, Jivika doesn't have any idea about what her brothers are going to gift her. Not that she cares because she only wants their blessings as gifts. Instead, she has bought gifts for her brothers with the money she received on her wedding. Although Shivansh gave her his card to use but she refused saying she wanted to buy gifts with her own money.

Finally, everyone has gathered in the family room where the festival will be celebrated. Everyone in the family have worn new clothes as well. First it's Geetanjali's turn to tie Rakhi on her brother's wrists. So, she lights the diya and then aaply kumkum tilak on Pratap's forehead before putting a few rice on the tilak. She then performs aarti and ties rakhi on her big brother's wrist. She does the same process with Abhinav. After that she ties Lumba Rakhi on her two sister-in-laws wrists as per ritual.

"Here is your gift from me and your Badi Bhabhi." Pratap says and hands a wrapped gift to Geetanjali.

"And this is from us." Abhinav says while handling another wrapped gift to his sister.

"Buaji, open the gifts and show us too." Ritika exclaims with eagerness.

Geetanjali smiles at her niece and one by one opens the gifts given by her big brother. She then first shows the gift to everyone which is given by Pratap and Aaradhya, a set of diamond accessories. She then shows the gift given by Abhinav and Radhika which is a brand-new car key.

"Wow." Eklavya says while everyone cheers for the gifts.

"Now it's my turn." Saying this Ritika comes to the front and starts doing the rituals one by one with her brothers.

"Hand over your cards." Ritika says while showing her palms to her big brothers who simply smile at her and put their cards on each of her palms making her squeals in happiness.

"Didu, aren't you forgetting something?" Eklavya asks rubbing his hands together while everyone laughs seeing the annoyed expression on their princess' face.

"Here take it, happy?" Ritika asks giving her card to her little brother.

"Very much happy." Eklavya replies kissing the card.

"Princess go and tie the Lumba Rakhi on Jivika's wrist." Abhinav tells his daughter who nods her head.

Ritika then makes Jivika to sit beside Shivansh who smiles looking at his wife. He loves the way his Rani Sahiba is enjoying the festival as it's visible on her pretty face.

"Here is a gift from my side, Riti." Jivika says after Ritika is done tieing the rakhi.

"Really? Then let me see." Ritika says happily because she doesn't want to make her best friend by saying there is no need for her to give any gift.
