Raksha Bandhan is a traditional Indian festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a sacred thread, called a rakhi, around their brothers' wrists. This thread symbolizes love, protection, and the promise of care. In return, brothers give gifts and vow to protect their sisters from harm.
The festival usually falls in the month of Shravana in the Hindu calendar. Families come together to celebrate with sweets and special meals. Raksha Bandhan not only strengthens sibling relationships but also emphasizes the importance of love and duty within families, making it a cherished occasion in Indian culture.
