Raksha Bandhan: The Festival of Love and Protection
Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival that celebrates the bond of love and protection between brothers and sisters. It is celebrated on the full moon day of the Shravan month, which is usually in August.
Ye festival ancient India se originate hua hai, aur iske origins ke baare me bahut saari stories hai. Ek story ye batati hai ki Indra, jo ki gods ka king tha, ek baar ek demon king se har gaye the. Indra ki wife, Sachi, ne unke wrist pe ek thread bandha tha unko harm se protect karne ke liye. Indra itne grateful hue ki unhone promise kiya ki wo Sachi aur uski saari sisters ko harm se protect karenge.
Ek aur story ye batati hai ki Yama, jo ki death ka god tha, ek baar apni sister Yamuna se challenge hua tha. Yama usko maarne hi wale the jab Yamuna ne unke wrist pe ek thread bandha tha. Yama uske gesture se itne touched hue ki unhone agree kar liya ki wo uski life spare karenge.
Raksha Bandhan ek din hota hai jab sisters apne brothers ko apna love aur protection express karti hai. Is din sisters apne brother ke wrist pe rakhi, yaani sacred thread, bandhti hai. Rakhi sister ka love aur protection ka symbol hota hai, aur brother promise karta hai ki wo apni sister ko protect karega.
Rakhi bandhna ek bahut hi special ceremony hota hai. Sister pehle apne brother ke forehead pe tilak, yaani blessing ka mark, lagati hai. Phir wo rakhi unke wrist pe bandhti hai. Brother phir apni sister ko gift deta hai, usually kuch chota aur symbolic, jaise ki naya piece of jewelry ya book.
Rakhi bandhne ke baad brother aur sister love aur protection ke vows exchange karte hai. Brother promise karta hai ki wo hamesha apni sister ko protect karega, aur sister promise karti hai ki wo hamesha apne brother ke well-being ke liye pray karegi.
