Raksha Bandhan is on 19th August. This day dedicated to the brother-sister relationship is one of the major festivals in Hinduism. On this day, the sister applies tilak on the brother's forehead and ties a rakhi on his wrist. Rakhi is a Rakshasutra which is tied with the belief that it will protect the brother. Along with this, the sister wishes for the long life of the brother.
The Rakshasutra or Rakhi tied on the boy's wrist is a symbol of the fact that he is a brother. He has a sister, whose safety and respect is the responsibility of the brother. On the occasion of Rakshabandhan, many types of rakhi designs are available. From Rudraksha rakhi to floral rakhi, silver or gold rakhi or now customized rakhi is in trend.
