Raksha
Bandhan: It is the festival, which is nothing
less than some of the grand celebrations in Hindu Religion. Today,
across the globe, it is celebrated to cherish the unconditional
loving relationship between sisters and brothers. It is celebrated on
the Purnima of Shravan Mas as per Hindu Calender. Therefore, it is
sometimes called Shavani also. The festival has very deep roots in
ancient Indian mythology. Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, had
tied rakhi to mighty demon king Raja Bali on this day and in return,
Raja Bali had relieved God Vishnu, her husband, who was in his
custody. Likewise, king Alexander’s wife tied the rakhi to his
enemy called King Puru and in return, King Puru has promised her that
he will not harm her husband during battle. Raksha Bandhan is meant a lot in relation of brother and sister.
Rakhi:
It is a simple thread which is tied by sister
on the right hand wrist of her brother. To make rituals complete,
sister makes “Tilak” on the forehead of her brother first along
with kumkum and rice before tying rakhi. Once it is done, both
brother and sister offer sweets to each other’s mouth as a token of
joy and happiness and both pray to God for well being of each other.
In return, brother gifts something to his sister. There are many
forms and varieties of traditional rakhi, like simple thread, resham
rakhi, beads rakhi, etc. Sometimes it is prepared with precious
metals like gold or silver along with precious stones. Some rachis
are having music associated with it, some has beautiful fragrance
associated with it. Some are prepared from zari or some are prepared
from flowers.
