What better day to pamper that saviour, partner in crime, sister of yours than the day of Raksha Bandhan? In Sanskrit, Rakshabandhan means “the knot of protection”. Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan festival provides happiness and a lot of love into the lives of brothers and sisters. It is one of the most important Hindu celebrations in India. But it is not associated with just the Hindus, in today’s scenario. People belonging to different religions have come forward in unity and celebrated this festival with utmost enthusiasm and excitement.
Rakhi festival has its roots in ancient Hindu scriptures and epics. Ancient stories tell us the importance, and reasons behind the celebration of this festival. Stories of Rani Karnawati and Emperor Humayun, Goddess Laxmi and King Bali, and the story of Lord Krishna and Draupadi. Every story is incredible and auspicious in its own way but the story of Rani Karnawati when she realized that she alone would not be able to protect her kingdom after her husband’s -king of Chittor, demise. She sent a thread as Rakhi to Mughal Emperor Humayun and later he protected her kingdom from Rajput’s Invasion. From the medieval era, this story became one of the best examples of celebration.
A brother and sister’s bond is extremely pure and special. You should consider celebrating Raksha Bandhan if you are fortunate enough to have an awesome sister who loves you wholeheartedly. Generally, the Rakhi festival begins with the sister tying a thread (Rakhi) around her brother’s wrist after doing the Tilak of Roli and Chawal followed by eating the sweets. After that, they both pray for each other’s well-being. The brother promises to always look out for her sister and to always be there for her in all the ups and downs of life.
