• Raksha Bandhan is a festival that celebrates the
  relationship between a brother and a sister. It
  recognizes the love that they share and the
  duties implied in their relationship. It is
  celebrated mainly in India, Mauritius, parts of
  Nepal and Pakistan.

Over the years this festival has attained a
secular status and has grown beyond its
traditional roots. Today it is celebrated even by
men and women who may not be biologically
related. A bond of love is universal and hence
irrespective of an individuals religion or
beliefs the festival of Raksha Bandhan appeals to
all.

To celebrate this festival the sister ties a
Rakhi, which can be a colourful woven thread or
an accessory like a bracelet, on the brothers
wrist. Literally translated Rakhsa Bandhan meant
knot of protection, the brother promises to
always protect his sister and take care of her.
After the rakhi has been tied a small pooja and
arti is done.

These gifts can be simple tokens of affection or
elaborate gestures. The Rakhis that a sister
ties can also vary greatly from simple colourful
treads to those made from gold and silver.
Nowadays expensive watches are also sometimes
used in place of traditional Rakhis. There are
many variations to the specific details of how
Raksha Bandhan is celebrated around the world but
the main premise remains the same.

The Hindu religion is known for having many
festivals and ceremonies that celebrate love and
emphasise familial relationships. There are many
myths and anecdotes attached to the celebration
of this festival. Rajput queens were known for
sending rachis to neighbouring rulers as a show
of brotherhood.

There is some debate on the accuracy of a few of
these anecdotes but there is no denying that the
