Raksha Bandhan: The Sacred Thread of Love

Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi) is a cherished Hindu festival marking the everlasting bond between siblings. Celebrated on the full moon of Shravana—falling this year on Sunday, August 10, 2025—it’s a day when sisters tie a rakhi (sacred thread) on their brothers’ wrists, and brothers pledge lifelong protection 


Significance of Raksha Bandhan

"Raksha" means protection, and "Bandhan" means bond—together symbolizing an unwavering promise between siblings. While historically rooted in family ties, today the festival extends to cousins, friends, and anyone with a special sibling-like connection .


Traditional Rituals

Common traditions include:

  1. Aarti & Tilak – The sister performs an aarti ritual and applies a tilak on her brother’s forehead.

  2. Rakhi Tying – She ties the sacred thread, symbolizing love, respect, and protection.

  3. Gifts & Sweets – The brother gives a token of his appreciation. Modern Raksha Bandhan also sees heartfelt handwritten notes, thoughtful gifts, and virtual celebrations, keeping the bond strong even across distance.
