Jump to read...
Raksha Bandhan, as name significance a protection knot. On this special day, all the brothers make a promise with their sisters to protect them throughout the life without any condition.
A festival of true bond between brother and sister. The relation between a brother and sister is so unique because it covers all the relations itself. It starts as a brother and then becomes as a Friend, Mentor, Partner in Crime, Bodyguard and many more. Rakhi is celebrated on Full Moon Day in Sawan Mas i.e. August. This, we also called a “Festival of Thread’ which shows unconditional love from a sister to her brother by keeping a promise to be with her ever and forever. Although apart from its deep meaning, it also gives an excellent opportunity for all sisters to make their wishes or demands complete by asking their gifts from her brothers. This festival is very lovable because it shows true love and caring.
Girls have a special craze for Rakhi. They browse Rakhis online or offline and then finalize the one to buy. They decorate pooja thali for their brothers. In the same time, Boys plan to buy the Rakhi’s gifts and think what will be the best gift for their sisters.
On this special day, Government also provides free bus and train facilities for all sisters (ladies and girls) so that everyone can travel to meet their brothers. Because we can not compare such uncoditional siblings’ love with any commodity.
