Raksha Bandhan is right around the corner, and siblings everywhere are ready to mark this day with much excitement. The festival is a Hindu festival honouring the special bond shared between siblings. Interestingly, it is celebrated enthusiastically in all parts of India.
For the unversed, the festival falls on the full moon day (Purnima) of Shravan or Sawan month. On this day the sisters tie Rakhi on their brother’s wrists and wish them a long, prosperous and happy life. In return, the brothers promise to protect their sisters throughout their life, but modern-day rituals call for a tweak. Siblings also exchange special gifts on this day, with brother pampering sisters with their favourite things. ALSO READ | When is Raksha Bandhan 2022?

As per the tradition, sisters put tilak on their brother's forehead, tie a Rakhi around the wrist, eat sweets, and exchange gifts on this day.
The Rakhi ritual reaffirms the bond and support shared between siblings. Additionally, by tying the Rakhi, the brothers promise to protect their sisters, fulfil their wishes, give blessings, and support them in every endeavour of their lives. Nowadays, siblings also buy Rakhis signifying their special bond.
