Raksha Bandhan, commonly known as Rakhi, is being celebrated today. This traditional Hindu festival honors the love and bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a rakhi around their brothers’ wrists, and in return, brothers offer gifts as a symbol of their love and care.
Deeply rooted in Indian culture, Raksha Bandhan has been celebrated for centuries, with instances of sisters tying rakhis for protection mentioned in Hindu religious texts.
