Rakhi or Raksha is a
sacred thread embellished with sister's love and affection for her
brother. On the day of Raksha Bandhan sisters tie Rakhi on their
brother's wrist and express their love for him. By accepting a Rakhi
from a sister a brother gladly takes on the responsibility of protecting
her sister. In Indian tradition the frail thread of Rakhi is considered
stronger than iron chains as it binds brothers and sisters in an
inseparable bond of love and trust.
Rakhi Festival is celebrated
both in India and different parts of world with fervour and
enthusiasm. The day is celebrated with sister's tying rakhi on their
brother's wrist, performing arti and also praying for their long
life. In turn, brothers vow to protect their sisters and come for
their rescue in times of need. This custom has been there since time
immemorial.
Rakhi holds immense significance
in Indian cultural ethos. The custom of celebrating Rakhi started in
Vedic times and even today brothers and sisters consider it must to
celebrate the occasion in traditional manner. When brothers are away
sisters send Rakhi to them and express their love. Accepting the
Rakhi with grace brothers send Return gifts to their sister. This
loving gesture goes a long way in strengthening brother sister
relationship and building stronger family ties. The importance of
Raksha Bandhan is same as
Diwali festival
in India.

My Sweet Sister Sabita,
U r the sweetest sister in the whole universe. A message only express the emotions and sentiment in words when people are at a distance but expressions of face can't be express in a message. So I am sure coming at your college hostel on the occassion of Raksha Bandhan would delight u. Whatever be the distance and how much ever may our lives be busy doesn't matter on a Rakhi day. Because u r greatest sister for me. I am proud of u.
