Raksha Bandhan Festival

Raksha Bandhan Festival

Recorded on: 13 Aug 2011

Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi Purnima is a festival which celebrates the relationship between brothers and sisters.

The central ceremony involves the tying of a rakhi (sacred thread) by a sister on her brother's wrist. This symbolizes the sister's love and prayers for her brother's well-being, and the brother's lifelong vow to protect her. Bandhan means: to tight. We are bounded to our commitment, our vow. We are also tight emotionally, physically, mentally, culturally, religiously and in many other ways. But to be tight with something means not to be against others. It is a symbol of great love and protection.
