This festival is also popular by the name 'Rakhi Purnima' as it falls on the full moon day. This year, Rakhi will be celebrated on 7th August.


On this auspicious day, sisters tie beautiful thread called Rakhi or Raksha, which is a symbol of protection, on the wrist of their brothers. The red tilak which the sisters apply on their brother's forehead signifies her unconditional love and affection attached with him. Brothers also recognize the bonding of love and by extending hand towards sisters. They also promise them to protect from all difficult situations and adversaries of life. This Rakhi ceremony is followed with exchange of Rakhi gifts wrapped with love and lots of sentiments.

The origination of Raksha Bandhan can be traced back to the ancient period. The age old scriptures embarked the practice of tying Rakhi knots in the Hindu mythological legends mainly to the Lord Indra, the King of Heavens. In the vedic period, during a war Lord Indra fall to the power of his opponent, Demons. Worried over the outcome of war, Indra got advised by Brihaspati Guru. Following his advise, Indra's wife Indrani tied a talisman on Indra's wrist. This reversed the war situation and Indra defeated demons. This talisman safeguarded him from all dangers, therefore it was referred as 'Raksha Sutra' and the whole ceremony of tying talisman by Indrani to his husband was named as Raksha Bandhan.
