In the order a household actually does it, including what to set up beforehand.
A thali with roli, rice or akshat, a small diya, rakhi threads, sweets and a coconut. Some families add dahi and honey for the aarti.
The sister applies a tilak of roli and rice on the brother's forehead, then ties the rakhi on his right wrist. The thread's knot should face outwards.
Perform a short aarti with the diya and then offer sweets by hand. The brother traditionally says he will protect his sister, and gives the gift.
Offer a coconut to the sea in the morning, before the season's first fishing trip. The coconut is thrown into the water with a prayer for a safe season.
Change the sacred thread in the morning, with tarpanam for ancestors performed first. New initiates receive the thread for the first time.

Ritual order genuinely varies. Where it does, this is the difference.
The strongest rakhi gifting culture, with the full thali ritual. Rakhi to soldiers and to married sisters (in some communities) are both observed. Ghaziabad and Bareilly have large rakhi manufacturing clusters.
The same full moon is Narali Purnima. The fishing community offers a coconut to the sea before starting the new fishing season, and boat decoration is a visible part of the day.
Observed as Avani Avittam or Upakarma, when Brahmin men change their sacred thread and recite the Vedas after a ritual bath. Rakhi tying is common in north-Indian communities in the cities.
Gamha Purnima, with the traditional bullock race held in Balasore and Cuttack districts. Rakhi is also observed, particularly in urban areas.
Observed as Jhulan Purnima, associated with the Radha-Krishna swing festival. Rakhi tying is common among Marwari and North Indian communities in Kolkata.
