On the Raksha Bandhan Day sister send or tie rakhi on brother's wrist and in return brother give pledge to protect her.
Raksha Bandhan falls in the month of Shravana, which is the month when monsoon season is coming to an end and the weather is pleasant and beautiful. Rakhi is celebrated all over the country as Rakhi Purnima. This day is devoted to the Rain God Indra and the Sea God Varuna.
It is said that Lord Rama started for Lanka to rescue Sita on this day. He crossed the sea from the bridge made by the Vanar Sena by throwing stones in water.
The rakhi festival is all about raksha or protection, not only of oneself but of our dear ones also. Each ritual that is followed on this day has a significance of its own. The sisters seek love from their brothers, the brothers seek courage and endurance. People worship the Gods of water, the basis of life. Rakhi is all about living life in a harmonious manner along with the celebrations of brotherhood and love.
Celebrate this wonderful festival of raksha bandhan with your friends, brothers, sisters and friends and wish the well being and prosperity of all your loved ones.
