What Is Raksha Bandhan?
Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival defining love and close-knit sibling bonds. To celebrate the bond of love and affection, a sister ties a thread known as Rakhi on her brother’s wrist, and he gives her gifts and promises to support her, to protect her dignity and self-respect. When gifts are involved, they make this pious festival more significant because it gives a chance to the brothers to brainstorm to know their sister’s likes and dislikes, further allowing them to know their sister thoroughly.
