Raksha Bandhan 2021: History and significance
As per the Hindu calendar, Raksha Bandhan is celebrated in the month of Shravana on full moon day or Purnima day. This auspicious festival holds the utmost significance in the Hindu tradition and there are several versions of stories as to why Raksha Bandhan is celebrated. However, as per Hindu Mythology, it was Draupadi who first tied a corner of her sari to Lord Krishna’s finger to keep it from bleeding, following which Lord Krishna accepted her as his sister and promised to protect her at all costs.
Since then, every year on Raksha Bandhan, sisters apply tilak and tie a beautiful decorative thread to their brothers’ wrists and in return, brothers make promises of protecting and loving them unconditionally.
