The Rakshabandhan is a sacred festival that is observed in the last week of Hindu calendar of Shraavana month. During this festival, the sisters tie a sacred thread called Rakhi on the wrists of their brothers to protect them from any harm. During the old times, the Rakhis were blessed upon by saints before the sisters tie them on their Brother’s wrist. Those Rakhis were considered to have magical properties which would protect the brother. As time went on people realized that the Rakhi is the sign of love, as well as protection and hence the Rakhi, was to symbolize the love of a sister and her belief would protect the brother.
