Raksha Bandhan is a festival that celebrates the relationship between a brother and a sister. It recognizes the love that they share and the duties implied in their relationship. It is celebrated mainly in India, Mauritius, parts of Nepal and Pakistan.

Over the years this festival has attained a secular status and has grown beyond its

traditional roots. Today it is celebrated even by men and women who may not be biologically related. A bond of love is universal and hence irrespective of an

individual’s religion or beliefs the festival of Raksha Bandhan appeals to all.

To celebrate this festival the sister ties a Rakhi,

which can be a colourful woven thread or an

accessory like a bracelet, on the brother’s wrist.

Literally translated

Rakhsa Bandhan meant knot of protection, the

brother promises to always protect his sister

and take care of her. After the rakhi has been tied a small pooja and

arti is done.

These gifts can be simple tokens of affection or elaborate gestures. The

Rakhi’s that a sister ties can also vary greatly from simple colourful treads to

those made from gold and silver. Nowadays expensive watches are also sometimes used in place of traditional

Rakhis. There are many variations to the specific details of how Raksha Bandhan is celebrated around the world but the main

premise remains the same.

The Hindu religion is known for having many festivals and ceremonies that celebrate love and emphasise familial relationships. There are many myths and

anecdotes attached to the celebration of this festival. Rajput queens were known for sending rachis to neighbouring rulers as a show of brotherhood.

There is some debate on the accuracy of a

few of these anecdotes but there is no denying

that the festival of Rakha Bandhan has

been around for many years and its simple

celebration of love has appealed to generations.
