Introduction
Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi is India’s most widely celebrated festival for the invincible brother-sister bond. It’s a festival of protection, love, religion, and respect between them that has stood the test of time and times. Where tradition meets technology, this vintage festival still reigns and lingers in new India — emotionally as well as virtually.
What is Raksha Bandhan?
The word “Raksha Bandhan” itself means “Bond of Protection.” It is observed on the day of full moon (Purnima) in the Shravan month of Hindus (usually in the month of August).
{#On the day:
Sisters tie a showy string (Rakhi) around the wrists of their brothers.
They wish long life and prosperity to their brothers.
Brothers, in turn, promise to protect their sisters and usually give gifts as an expression of love.
Cultural Significance
Raksha Bandhan is not just limited to family ties. Neighbors, friends, and cousins also observe Raksha Bandhan these days. Rakhi is even tied even by women on soldiers, policemen, and other saviors of society in some societies — as a symbol of respect and appreciation.
How Celebrated Today in Modern India?
