Raksha Bandhan is a traditional Hindu festival celebrating the bond between brothers and sisters.
The word “Raksha” means protection, and “Bandhan” means bond.
On this day, sisters tie a Rakhi (decorative thread) on their brothers’ wrists.
The Rakhi symbolizes love, care, and prayers for the brother’s well-being.
In return, brothers give gifts and promise to protect and support their sisters.
It is celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) of Shravan month (July–August).
Families come together, exchange sweets, and strengthen their relationships.
Today, Raksha Bandhan is not limited to brothers and sisters only—it also symbolizes love, care, and respect in all relationships.
