Raksha Bandhan is a popular Hindu festival celebrated in India and Nepal. It is usually observed on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravana, which falls in August.
Raksha Bandhan is a festival that celebrates the bond of love and affection between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a sacred thread called “Rakhi” around their brother’s wrist, symbolizing their love and commitment to protecting their brother. In return, the brother promises to protect and take care of his sister throughout his life.
The celebration of Raksha Bandhan involves various rituals and customs. Sisters perform aarti and offer sweets to their brothers, and the brothers give gifts to their sisters as a token of their love and appreciation.
Raksha Bandhan is not just limited to siblings but can also be celebrated between cousins, friends, and even neighbors. It is a festival that promotes the values of love, respect, and harmony, and reinforces the bond between siblings and loved ones.
