Raksha Bandhan 2022: The auspicious Hindu festival Raksha Bandhan is celebrated to honor the pure and loving bond of brothers and sisters. This festival is celebrated on the full moon day of Shukla Paksha of Shravan month. This year it is falling on 11th August. On this day sisters tie rakhi on the wrists of their brothers and in return take a pledge to protect and support their sisters. Raksha Bandhan has a special significance in Indian culture.
Raksha Bandhan in Sanskrit means ‘bond of protection’ and every year sisters tie rakhi which signifies the bond of protection on the hands of their brothers. After the ritual of tying Rakhi, they exchange sweets and gifts and enjoy the holy festival. The thread of Rakhi is so powerful that it can bring even two people from different communities together and allows them to share this sacred bond of brothers and sisters.
