Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan is a traditional Indian festival celebrating the bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a protective thread, called a rakhi, around their brothers' wrists, symbolizing love, care, and the brother’s commitment to protect and support their sister. In return, brothers often give gifts and promise to safeguard their sisters. The festival emphasizes familial love, trust, and mutual respect, fostering stronger relationships within families. Celebrated with prayers, exchanges of gifts, and festivities, Raksha Bandhan highlights the importance of familial bonds beyond just the brother-sister relationship.
