Raksha Bandhan 2024: Date, significance, and history

What is Raksha Bandhan?

Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi, is a sacred Indian festival that honors the beautiful bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a rakhi — a symbolic thread of love — around their brothers’ wrists, praying for their protection, happiness, and long life.

It’s more than just a ritual — it’s an expression of selfless love, deep trust, and lifelong connection.

Why is Raksha Bandhan Celebrated?

Mythological Roots

Legends say that when Lord Krishna injured his finger, Draupadi tore her saree to stop the bleeding. Touched by her gesture, Krishna promised to protect her — a promise he kept during her darkest hours.

Modern Significance

Today, Raksha Bandhan isn’t limited to blood relations. Sisters tie rakhis to cousins, friends, and even soldiers. It symbolizes protection, respect, and affection in every relationship.
