Rakhi is one of the most important festivals and holidays in our Indian culture... This beautiful day celebrates the tightly knit bond that exists not only between brother and sister but also family members and close friends.

                 

The word has been translated from the original Sanskrit "Raksha Bandhan" meaning "ARM OF PROTECTION" celebrated on the full moon day of Shraavana, a Hindu month usually falling in July and August, it is celebrated across the subcontinent and across all walks of life….

The days leading up to Rakhi involve friends and family reaching out to their loved ones to invite them to their celebration as a token of their gratitude….

As soon as the festival comes, the sisters put a tilak (religious mark) on their brother's forehead. Next, they tie the Rakhi to their brother's wrist. This thread represents the love and wishes of the siblings for each to find fulfilling happiness.

                   

While praying for the good health and long life of her brothers, finally the sister performs an aarti exercise where she lights a small oil lamp and prays for her brothers' well being and success in life. Once the sisters have completed their part, the brothers do the same and offer their sister a gift and promise to look after and care for her.

GENERALLY, RAKHI WORKS AROUND PROTECTION AND FAMILY LOVE

It also brings the message that the bonds that bind us are much deeper than blood alone. In fact, it expands everyone's idea of ​​what it means to be a family in the concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, which unites the whole world into one.

Being a good brother or sister is not easy. In fact, it is one of the most difficult relationships for many when they grow up. All we need to reflect on how deeply we value our loved ones and show them how much we care about them.

This gesture of tying Rakhis transcended religious boundaries and demonstrated the power of a simple festival to promote peace and harmony in a diverse society. It is a reminder that festivals can have a deeper cultural and social meaning beyond their traditional meanings.

RAKHI IS NOT A FESTIVAL RAKHI IS LIFE IT IS A FEATIVAL OF LOVE, AFFECTION AND LOYALTY BETWEEN BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
