From Sanskrit, Raksha Bandhan literally translates to ‘the bond of protection, obligation, or care’. It’s now principally applied to the ritual. Though, the families in India have increasingly becoming nuclear, the festival still holds a great value and significance to them. It’s also celebrated by people who are not brother and sister by blood.
Following the spirit of the day, sisters of all ages tie a talisman, or amulet, called ‘rakhi’, around the wrists of their brothers. It means that brothers promises to protect their sisters throughout their lifetime. Brothers also give gifts, sweets, etc. It deserves special attention as the colorful rakhi, creative gifts, and chocolates bring their own charm.
