Raksha Bandhan is a traditional Hindu festival, is globally celebrated as bond of love and affection between brothers and sisters. Raksha means protection and Bandhan means a bond or a knot. That’s why it’s also famous as “Knot of Protection”. Every year, this is celebrated on Shraavana purnima as per Hindu calendar all over the world with various names.
On this auspicious day, sisters tie a thread of love and care which is called Rakhi on their brother’s wrist, put roli and akshar on their forehead, feed them sweets and pray for their happiness as well as prosperity. Brothers also bless them and vow to protect life long.
It is not necessary that Rakhi must be given only to blood brother. It may be given to cousin or a good friend or those males who were tying with thread of Rakhi. Indian history gives us examples of those women who were asking for protection through Rakhi from men who were neither their brother nor Hindus themselves. The story of Rani Karnawati of chittor and the Mughal Emperor Humanyun is the most significant evidence in the history. This example proves that Rakhi is knot blessed with love and affection which gives message of brotherly relationship and teaches us humanity.
There are various types of Rakhis available like Designer Rakhi, Silver Rakhi, Gold Rakhi, Pearl Rakhi, and there are certain rachis made especially for children like Kids Rakhi, for Sister-in-law lumba, Rakhi sets, Bhaiya-bhabhi ki Rakhi and many more which makes this festival more attractive and appealing.
