Raksha Bandhan Celebration - How Rakhi is Celebrated in India?

RAKSHA BANDHAN- The Toughest Yet The Most Beautiful Bond

Remember the days in childhood when you gave your sister chocolate when she tied a rakhi to your wrists! Did you ever realise the responsibilities that a rakhi symbolizes? Raksha Bandhan is perhaps the only festival in India which although not involving any deity is celebrated in such a grand manner. The festival of brotherhood and love might be a Hindu festival but is nowadays also celebrated in other communities. As it's a festival of purity and love, it shouldn't be bound to religions. Raksha Bandhan celebration takes place every year on the full moon day in the month of Shravan as per the Hindu calendar. The first instance of rakhi being tied was when Alexander's wife tied a thread to Porus's hands, and Porus in return promised not to harm Alexander.

The history itself reveals that Rakhi celebrations mark the celebration of purity, love, strength, admiration, protectiveness and caring that exist in the immortal brother-sister bond. No matter how far your brother/sister is physically from you, but mentally it is he/she who keeps you up and running. If you are a non-Indian and wondering, how Rakhi is celebrated in India? We will give you a glimpse of the rakhi celebrations in India. For those who want to add a personal touch, consider a Handmade Rakhi Design for a Brother.  A sister ties rakhi to her brother, though not necessarily biological. Both of them seek blessings from their parents and pray for the safety and wellness of each other. The brother promises to protect his sister even in the toughest of times. Then they amaze each other with some splendid gifts.
