About Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi)

Raksha Bandhan is a traditional Hindu festival that celebrates the bond of protection and love between brothers and sisters. During the ceremony, sisters tie a sacred thread called a rakhi around their brother's wrist, while brothers offer gifts and a promise of lifelong protection. It is widely observed across India as a symbol of sibling affection.
