Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan is the Hindu festival that celebrates the sacred relationship between a brother and sister. The name derives from two words: Raksha (Protection) and Bandhan (Relation). It is celebrated on the full moon in the month of Shravan in the lunar calendar. On this auspicious day, a sister ties the Rakhi around her brother’s wrist while praying for his good health and prosperity. On the other hand, brothers vow to stand by their sisters through thick and thin magnifying the bond of love and lifelong attachment between them.
