Rakhi: The Thread of Love

The bond of love between a brother and a sister is one of the deepest and noblest of human emotions. Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi is a special occasion to celebrate this emotional bonding by tying a holy thread around the wrist. This thread, which pulsates with sisterly love and sublime sentiments, is rightly called the ‘Rakhi’. It means 'a bond of protection', and Raksha Bandhan signifies that the strong must protect the weak from all that’s evil.

The full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravan (July-August) is time for the ritual of Rakhi or "Raksha Bandhan", which means "a Bond of Protection", when sisters Buy Rakhi For Brothers, tie the sacred Rakhi thread on their brothers' right wrists, and pray for their long successful life.
