Raksha Bandhan Festival - Brothers and Sisters Love

Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi) festival is the godly attachment of love between brothers and sisters that occurs in the month of Sravan (August) on the full moon day. It is famous usually in North India by Hindu and Sikhs religion people.


The festival of Raksha Bandhan is entirely dedicated to the love and affection shared between a brother and sister. On this day, sisters pray for long life of their brothers and ask God to bless them with his blessings and sisters tie rakhi or sacred thread around their brother’s wrist. The sacred thread signifies the bond of protection in which sister pray for the well being of her brother and brother promises to protect her sister from all harm. Brothers give gifts or money to her sister on this day.
