Raksha Bandhan, Sunday 26th August 2018
The significance of Raksha Bandhan is tremendous in India. It is celebrated no lesser than any other festival, as it is dedicated to the love of a sister and her brother. Raksha means (Protection) and Bandhan (Relation). On this day, a sister ties ‘Rakhi’ around her brother’s wrist while the brother undertakes a pledge to protect his sister until death. He promises to stand by his sister throughout determinedly. Sisters tying the sacred thread around the wrists of brothers are a symbol of attachment, meant to strengthen their bond of love. The significance of this festival is indisputable as siblings come close on this very day. Apart from getting his wrist tied with a Rakhi, the brother owes a gift to his sister. Expensive or inexpensive, the gift is cherished by all sisters.
