Raksha Bandhan (रक्षा बन्धन) is a Hindu festival that celebrates the love and duty between brothers and sisters. Raksha Bandhan in Sanskrit literally means "the tie or knot of protection".
The sister performs a Rakhi ceremony, then prays to express her love and her wish for the well being of her brother; in return, the brother ritually pledges to protect and take care of his sister under all circumstances. Exchange of beautiful rakhi gifts among dear ones make this occasion a sweet remembrance for many years to come.
It’s that time of the year, when we connect with that special person of our life, who is more than a friend and next to parents in our lives. Yes, it is our siblings, with whom we love, fight and share everything and who in turn care for us no less than our parents.
Especially for brothers this duty is even more, as they need to ensure that their lovely sisters are not only happy but safe too.
