Raksha Bandhan History

Historically, it is believed that during the Mahabharata, Draupadi, wife of the Pandavas, tore a piece of cloth from her saree to tie around Lord Krishna’s wrist. The fabric was to prevent the bleeding from his wrist. Lord Krishna then promised always to keep her safe; thus, a brother-sister bond formed between them. Since then, the Rakhi festival is celebrated as the symbol of love and promise of protection shared between a brother and sister.

What is Raksha Bandhan?

About Raksha Bandhan, it is about celebrating the love of brothers for their sisters. According to the Hindu calendar, Raksha Bandhan falls on Rakhi Pournami, the full moon day of the Hindu month, Shravana. As the tradition goes, sisters tie rakhi on their brother’s wrist as a symbol of their prayers for his safety. Brothers, in turn, give them the gift of protection from all evil. Rakhis are symbolic of sacred feelings and well wishes.

Today’s Raksha Bandhan is all about rekindling the sacred bond between a brother and sister and cherishing a few moments together in their busy lives. Like every Indian festival, Rakhi is a reason to wear new clothes, eat your favorite delicacies, have fun with family and celebrate togetherness.
