Happy Rakhi to One and All. I remember my child hood on this day :) . It was the time when we don't know the actual significance of the day but we tie rakhi to our brothers to get some nice nice gifts from them.. :) - I even used to ask my brother to tie rakhi for me, but I will not give any gifts :D
But as I grew up I knw the Significance... I knew the tradition from where we got this festival.. here is a gist of what all I knew about this special Day...
Rakhi : The Thread Of Love
In the month of shravan, on the full moon day, like any other Indian festival RAKSHABANDHAN is celebrated with the same gist and warmth. This very day marks the promise of never ending love and affection between a brother and a sister.
Traditions And Customs
On Rakshabandhan every sister ties a thread on the wrist of her brother and prays for his long and prosperous life. The brother takes this as a pledge to protect his sister throughout his life.
This festival has its roots in the ancient times and even today it has not lost its charm. It has a very significant place in the hearts of Our Indians and parents make strong efforts to imbibe the values and emotions associated with this festival into their children. This relationship is no where so celebrated as in India.
