The significance of the Raksha Bandhan festival is huge in our country. It is celebrated no lesser than any other festival, dedicated to the love of a sister and her brother. It holds immense importance in Hinduism. The festival's name, Raksha Bandhan, comprises two words, Raksha (Protection) and Bandhan (Relation). On this day, a sister ties ‘Rakhi’ around her brother’s wrist while the brother undertakes an oath to protect his sister until death. He vows to stand by his sister through thick and thin. Sisters tying the sacred thread around the wrists of brothers are a symbol of attachment, meant to strengthen their bond of love.

In our country, Raksha Bandhan has been practiced since ancient times. Indian history is overflowing with fables, where brothers are said to have come ahead to protect their sisters during any adversity. According to the Times of India, several myths say the festival of Raksha Bandhan started when, in old times, queens sent ‘rakhi’ to their neighbors, symbolizing brotherhood. But now, the tradition has altered completely since, in the present era, sisters tie a Raksha Sutra around their brother’s wrists.
