We all know about the strong bond between a brother and a sister. This bond is something that can never be broken, and the relationship between them is extraordinary.

We say that if there has never been any fight between a brother and sister, then there is a problem. Small fights are common, yet the love between them is unmatchable. We have seen many such brother-sister bonds on screen, for instance, the Pevensie siblings from Narnia, Bart and Lisa Simpson from The Simpsons, and many more.

However, when it comes to India, we give it great importance with the festival of Raksha Bandhan.

Raksha Bandhan 

The two words that make up the festival, Raksha and Bandhan, have their significance. Raksha meaning protection and Bandhan meaning a tie or knot with promise, which means “the knot of protection”. This festival celebrates the eternal love between brother and sister, which is not limited to the blood relationships. It is also celebrated among cousins, sister and sister-in-law (Bhabhi), fraternal aunt (Bua), and nephew (Bhatija) and other such relations.

Originally a Hindu festival, we celebrate it across India and Nepal. We celebrate it on the full moon day of the Hindu lunisolar calendar in the month of Shravana, and it typically falls in August in the Gregorian calendar.

But, this special festival does not limit itself to one religion. You can find its variant among other religions as well. It is one of the most accepting and secular festivals.

Here is how we celebrate Raksha Bandhan among other religions-

• Hinduism- The festival is mainly celebrated by the Hindus in the northern and western parts of India along with countries like Nepal, Pakistan, and Mauritius.
• Jainism- The occasion is also revered by the Jain community where Jain priests give ceremonial threads to the devotees.
• Sikhism- This festival devoted to the brother-sister love is observed by the Sikhs as “Rakhardi” or “Rakhari”.

The importance of Raksha Bandhan

The festival of Raksha Bandhan is a symbol of the loving and enduring bond between brothers and sisters. This festival is meant for any type of brother-sister relationship between two people who may not be biologically related.

We celebrate the day when a sister ties a rakhi around the wrist of her brother and prays for his prosperity, health, and well-being. The brother in return showers his sister with gifts and promises to protect her from any harm and under every circumstance.

This promise of protection is not only just given to individuals, but people also tie rakhi on the branches of trees, for their selfless act of providing us with shelter, food, and fresh air, and therefore, protecting our lives.
