Raksha Bandhan, popularly called Rakhi is one of the most important Hindu festivals which is dedicated to the sister-brother relationship. It is celebrated by the sister putting on a holy thread called Rakhi around the brother’s hand showing she prays for him and the brother promises he will protect her. However, there is more to Raksha Bandhan than this symbolism: It is also filled with myths, legends and historical incidents which make the festival a very colorful one.
