Rakshabandhan is on 5th August, 2009

Origin of Raksha Bandhan
Every era in the Indian history is replete with instances describing the brother - sister bonding. In antiquity, the bonding between Lord Krishna and Draupadi was highly celebrated. Lord Krishna saved Draupadi from being disrobed in the court of Duryodhana, which he repaid as a token of love for his sister who had tied a strip of cloth from her sari to prevent blood from his wrist. In the medieval era, Rani Karnavati of Chittor sent a Rakhi to the Mughal monarch Humayun to save her kingdom from the invasion of a Gujarat king. Humayun kept his word and immediately came to her rescue.

A beautiful festival to celebrate the beautiful relationship that a brother and sister share: that is Rakhi. Feasting, merry making, gifting are the highlights of the day, together with the inherent religious elements. The celebration starts with prayers, applying Vermillion marks on the brother's forehead, the tying of the Rakhi by the sister. The brother in turn promises protection for his sister and presents a gift to his lovely sister. The big celebration thus begins...
