THE FESTIVAL OF PROTECTION - RAKSHA BANDHAN SERIES !!
There exists some special bond between the siblings and it is cannot be described by the words. However, when it comes to INDIA, the relationship becomes all the more important as there is a festival called RAKSHA BANDHAN which is dedicated to sibling love.
The festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu luni-solar calendar in the month of Shravana which falls in the August month.
Meaning of RAKSHA BANDHAN?
The word is made up of two words i.e. RAKSHA and BANDHAN. As per the Sanskrit Terminology, it means “ The Tie” or “The Knot Of Protection”. So RAKSHA means PROTECTION and the BANDHAN means TIE. Together it symbolizes the eternal love of a brother-sister relationship.
Importance of RAKSHA BANDHAN among various religions in India

Reason for celebrating RAKSHA BANDHAN?
RAKSHA BANDHAN is a symbol of the duty of the brothers to protect their sisters. This can be celebrated not only between the real siblings but between any men and women who may be not biologically related.
In this, the sister ties the knot on the hands of the brother for his well-being, care, and love, and in return, the brother gives the promise to protect his sister from any harm and under any circumstances.
