This exclusive campaign is called ‘Beej Bandhan,’ which presents rakhis designed with seeds of Butternut (Cucurbita moschata) -  an all-new crop category from East-West Seed India. The tastefully designed gift hamper presents biodegradable rakhis, Cocopeat disc, Coir Pot, a customized message, and a specially designed butternut recipe book.

“Beej Bandhan - seed rakhis is our way of contributing our commitment to sustainability and green causes. Rakhi is a much-loved cultural tradition that symbolizes the affection between siblings. Our seed rakhi with butternut seed presents an eco-friendly means to plant it in a garden or a pot.
