Raksha Bandhan, a cherished Hindu festival, celebrates the enduring bond between siblings. This year, it falls on Monday, August 19. The festival is observed during the full moon day or Purnima in the Shravana month. It's a time for siblings to express their love and commitment to each other.

During Raksha Bandhan, sisters tie a sacred thread called Rakhi on their brother's wrists. This ritualises their love and protection. Brothers, in return, vow to safeguard their sisters from any harm. In modern times, this tradition has evolved, with brothers also tying Rakhis on their sisters' wrists and siblings exchanging gifts.
