The festival of RakshaBandhan traditionally is a Hindu ceremony celebrated in various parts of Indian sub-continent. Literally in Sanskrit, RakshaBandhan means “bond of protection or care”. On this day, a sister ties a rakhi around the wrist of her brother and prays for his prosperity and health.The brothers vow to protect their sisters lifelong and also give them a present out of affection and love. It's a symbol of taking care and giving respect to Women. No one becomes a brother by tying Rakhi.
RakshaBandhan, traditionally celebrated in North India has acquired greater importance due to Hindi films. In urban India, the festival has become more symbolic but continues to be highly popular.
