Raksha Bandhan, or Rakhi, is not just a festival; it's an emotion deeply rooted in Indian culture. It's the one day where love, teasing, and sweet gestures between siblings are officially celebrated. But have you ever stopped to ask: Why is Rakhi celebrated? Let's dig into this beautiful tradition and discover how you can make this Rakhi extra special with Breautty’s 925 sterling silver rakhi collection.
The Tradition of Raksha Bandhan
Rakhi celebrates the sacred bond between a brother and a sister. The term "Raksha Bandhan" literally means the bond of protection. Traditionally, a sister ties a Rakhi (a sacred thread) on her brother’s wrist, and in return, he promises to protect her for life. Over the years, the celebration has become more inclusive—cousins, sisters-in-law, and even close friends are part of this heartfelt tradition.
The Mythological Connection
One of the most popular stories comes from the Mahabharata. When Lord Krishna injured his finger, Draupadi tore a piece of her sari and tied it on his wound. Moved by the gesture, Krishna promised to protect her forever. That thread, though simple, symbolized a strong, unbreakable bond.
Another version of Raksha Bandhan dates back to the story of Rani Karnavati and Emperor Humayun. As her kingdom was under threat, the queen sent a rakhi to Humayun, asking for help. Touched by her trust, he rushed to her aid. These stories show how Rakhi is not just about family, but about trust, respect, and protection.
