Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival, which celebrates the relationship between brothers and sisters…

…marked by the tying of a rakhi, a ceremonial thread by the sister on the wrist of her brother.

Later sisters offer sweets and candies…

…and the brother gives a present, or some money

Raksha Bandhan traces its roots to Hindu mythology – to the tale of Krishna and Draupadi

In return for a cloth strip that Draupadi tied to Krishna, he saved her from great misfortunes

Since then, Raksha Bandhan has been an important cermonial custom in India.
