Raksha Bandhan - A festival of love and affection between siblings.
Raksha Bandhan is a festival celebrated in the bond of purity and love between brother and sister. Raksha Bandhan in our tradition means "The knot of Raksha" (Raksha Bandhan). Raksha Bandhan is also popularly known as Rakhi.
As the name suggests, Raksha Bandhan is the celebration of the unsaid promise that every brother makes to his sister, to stand by her and protect her through all the hurdles of life. It’s the promise to cherish the good times and fight against all odds with togetherness. Though the festival of Raksha Bandhan is not limited to tying rakhi to the brothers, it keeps the siblings' relationship with each other forever. Raksha Bandhan is not just celebrated as a festival in India. Raksha Bandhan here means that siblings will always stand by each other. No matter how far there are distances on the way, there will be no distance between them at all.
It's a day to remember the sweet little moments of childhood when the world was nothing but a large playground to foster dreams together. It is celebrated every year on the full moon day of August. This year Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated with enthusiasm and vigor on 03 August 2020.
Over the years the meaning of this festival has evolved in a most enjoyable way, where it is not limited to just brothers and sisters. Anyone who feels a sense of responsibility towards their near and dear ones celebrates this day with full allegiance to caste, creed or color. It is a beautiful way to promote cultural harmony.
