Event Details

Raksha Bandhan is a cherished Hindu festival that celebrates the sacred bond between brothers and sisters. Observed on the full moon day of the Shravan month (July-August), the festival symbolizes love, protection, and familial duty. On this day, sisters tie a *rakhi* (a decorative thread) on their brothers' wrists, praying for their well-being and prosperity, while brothers pledge to protect and support their sisters. The ritual is accompanied by the exchange of sweets and gifts, strengthening the bond of love and care. Though traditionally centered around siblings, the festival has evolved to symbolize universal love and protection, with people tying rakhis to friends, mentors, and even soldiers as a mark of respect and gratitude.
