Raksha Bandhan, also Rakshabandhan, is a popular, traditionally Hindu, annual rite, or ceremony, which is central to a festival of the same name, celebrated in India, Nepal and other parts of the Indian subcontinent, and among people around the world influenced by Hindu culture.


On this day, sisters of all ages tie a talisman, or amulet, called the rakhi, around the wrists of their brothers, symbolically protecting them, receiving a gift in return, and traditionally investing the brothers with a share of the responsibility of their potential care.



Over the past few months, celebrations have been muted in the wake of the pandemic.

However, lockdown has seen a strengthening of family ties — either after being holed up at home or isolated from loved ones because of travel restrictions.

No wonder then that Raksha Bandhan is being greeted with renewed excitement.

The festival of Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi holds a lot of importance in India and among Hindus across the globe.  

On this day, Sisters tie a sacred thread or a colourful special band, rightly called the ‘Rakhi’ on their brothers’ wrist as a mark of affection and sisters love.
