RAKHI
India is a country of festivals. It is culturally so rich that it celebrates a festival
almost every month. The people of India
are so lively that they find a reason or
the other for celebrations. One of such reasons is the sweet and sour relationship
between a brother and a sister. Though brothers and sisters share and enjoy the
bond of love between them throughout the year but Rakhi is the day when they get
an opportunity to express their tender love and feelings towards each other. The
Rakhi day is an opportunity for them to commemorate their loving memories, loyalty,
closeness, trust and friendship that is lasting and true.
Raksha Bandhan is celebrated every year on 'Shravan Purnima' (Full Moon Day
of the Hindu month of Shravan), which generally falls in the month of August. On
the holy day of Rakhi the sisters tie a sacred piece of thread (Known as Rakhi or
'Raksha-Sutra') on the wrist of their brothers. Then they sweeten each others mouths
with delicious and mouth-watering sweets. The festival of Rakhi also includes a
tradition of offering gifts to sisters by the brothers.
