Raksha Bandhan
which celebrates the love and duty between brothers and
sisters. The festival is also popularly used to celebrate any
brother-sister relationship between men and women who are
relatives or biologically unrelated.
Raksha Bandhan in Sanskrit literally means "the tie or knot
of protection".The word Raksha means protection, whilst
Bandhan is the verb to tie. It is an ancient Hindu festival that
ritually celebrates the love and duty between brothers and
their sisters.The sister performs a Rakhi ceremony,
then prays to express her love and her wish for the well being
of her brother; in return, the brother ritually pledges to
protect and take care of his sister under all circumstances. It
is one of the several occasions in which family ties are
affirmed in India.
