Today is the 3rd of August, 2020 and it’s a very special day all around the world called RAKSHA BANDHAN.
What is Raksha Bandhan you might be wondering.
Simply put Raksha Bandhan is a very special day where brothers and sisters show love for each other. Sisters normally perform aarti for brothers and then tie a rakhi ( beautiful thread) on their right hand wrist and feed them sweets. In return brothers pledge to protect and love their sisters always and sometimes even give them a gift to show their love and affection.
It is said that when Queen Karnavati could not defend her kingdom she sent a Mugal Emperor a rakhi seeking his help and he was moved by this and assisted her. Like this there are many other stories about this celebration and it’s origins.
The important thing to remember when it comes to this celebration is that it’s based on the love and affection between siblings.
Today not only Hindus but almost everyone around the world regardless of religion or any other aspect celebrate this wondrous occasion.
Happy Raksha Bandhan to all siblings out there 🙂
