Rakhi is a traditional Indian festival celebrated primarily between brothers and sisters. It involves a sister tying a decorative thread, called a rakhi, around her brother's wrist as a symbol of love and protection. In return, brothers often give gifts and promise to safeguard their sisters. This ritual strengthens the bond between siblings and is observed on the full moon day in the month of Shravana.
The festival is not limited to biological siblings; it can also include close friends and relatives. Rakhi celebrations often involve family gatherings, feasting, and exchanging sweets, making it a joyful occasion that emphasizes love and togetherness.
