Hey guys! There’s two posts today! One regular and one for Raksha Bandhan. Please enjoy!
Raksha Bandhan means “bond of protection” and is a Hindu festival, observed on the full moon day of the Hindu lunisolar calendar month of Shravana. The festival celebrates the love between brothers and sisters, or any brother-sister type of relationship between men and women who may or may not be biologically related.
Rakhi ritual: Firstly, brothers and sisters dress up nice for the ritual. Then on the morning of Raksha Bandhan, in the presence of their family, they light a lamp or a candle (which signifies the fire deity), and begin the ritual. The sister and brother face each other so the sister can tie the rakhi (sacred thread) on her brother’s wrist. This symbolizes the sister’s love. The rakhi can be a simple thread or adjourned with charms. Once tied, the sister will wish her brother goodwill and happiness.

Afterwards, the sister will apply a tilaka (a mark worn usually on the forehead). In response, the brother gives the sister a gift and offers to protect her and take care of her under all circumstances. The brother’s gift to the sister can be cards, clothes, money or something thoughtful. The sister then feeds the brother, with her hands, one or more bites of sweets (desserts), dry fruits and other seasonal delicacies. They hug, and their family ritually congratulate the festive celebration of brother-sister love and protection. The brothers wear the rakhi for the entire day, at school or work, as a reminder of their sisters and to mark the festival of Raksha Bandhan.
