Raksha Bandhan in Sanskrit Iiterally means “the tie or knot of protection.” The word Raksha means protection, Whilst Bandhan is the verb to tie. It is an ancient Hindu festival that ritually celebrates the love and duty between brothers and their sisters. On this day, sisters tie a sacred thread called ‘Rakhi’ on the wrist of their brothers and pray for their long life.

Previously, the festival encompassed the warmth shared between the siblings but now it goes way beyond it. Some people tie Rakhi to neighbours and close friends signifying a peaceful co-existence of every individual.
