Raksha Bandhan

Monday, 19 August 2024

This festival is celebrated on the day of Shravan Purnima in Bhadra-free period. Raksha Bandhan is also known as Rakhi. With the festival of Raksha Bandhan, the Hindu month of Sawan also comes to an end. On this day, a sister ties a thread on the wrist of her brother as a symbol of her unconditional faith in him and pray for his long life. In return, the brother promises to protect her from all troubles.

There are many stories related to Raksha Bandhan. According to Bhavishya Purana, Indra defeated the demons on this day. Apart from this, the story of King Bali and Mata Lakshmi is also said to be the reason for the beginning of Rakshabandhan. During the Mahabharata, it is believed that Draupadi tied a rakhi on Krishna’s wrist when he had injured his finger while using his sudarshan chakra against the king Shishupalal. According to a historical context, when Rani Karnavati of Mewar came to know that Bahadur Shah was attacking her kingdom, she sent Rakhi to Humayun. Humayun had protected Queen Karnavati.
