Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival, also know as Rakhi Purnima, which celebrates the relationship between brothers and sisters. It is celebrated on the full moon of the month of Shraavana
The festival is marked by the tying of a rakhi by the sister on the wrist of her brother. The brother in return offers a gift to his sister and vows to look after her as she presents sweets to him. This symbolizes the sister's love and prayers for her brother's well-being, and the brother's lifelong vow to protect her.
On the day of Raksha Bandhan sisters get up early, have a bath and then pray to Lord Ganesha and then perform the aarti of brothers, put tilak and rice on their forehead and tie a Rakhi on his wrist. Following which sweets are exchanged and there is happiness all around. The celebrations continue throughout the day with families reuniting and doing fun activities together.
History of Rakhi Festival
According to the Indian medieval history, Queen Karnavati of the Rajput Kingdom, Chittor had sent a Rakhi to Humayun the Mughal Emperor of Delhi seeking his help against Bahadur Shah of Mewar. Emperor Humayun knew about the significance of Rakhi in the Hindu community hence accepted her request to protect Queen Karnavati.
The legend Yama (the God of death) and Yamuna. It is believed that on every Shravan Poornima day Yamuna used to tie a sacred thread on Yama’s wrist. Yama was so moved by the serenity of this custom that he declared that whosoever gets a Rakhi tied on his wrist from his sister and promised her protection will become protection. Then after Raksha Bandhan celebrates the eternal bond between brothers and sisters all over the country.
