Raksha Bandhan Significance
Raksha Bandhan, also spelled as Rakshabandhan, is a Hindu festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. On the day of Raksha Bandhan, sisters tie a thread - known as Rakhi - on the wrist of their brothers and pray for their wellbeing and safety. In return, brothers give gifts to sisters and promise to take care of them.
