RAKSHA
BANDHAN
22 AUGUST
Raksha Bandhan is a very auspicious occasion for Indian
siblings.
It is celebrated between the brothers and their sisters, as a
tribute and dedication for the ever-lasting bond that they share.
Sisters all around the country will express their love for their
brothers, promising ever-lasting love and fraternity for them.
Raksha Bandhan is a very common and widely celebrated
occasion all over the country.
It is celebrated in almost all Indian households.
Raksha Bandhan is observed on the last day of the
Hindu lunar calendar month of Shraavana, which typically falls
in August. The expression "Raksha Bandhan," Sanskrit, literally,
"the bond of protection, obligation, or care," is now principally
applied to this ritual.
HISTORY
It is said that the festival gained popularity after rani karnavati , the widowed
queen of chittor , sent a Rakhi to Mughal Emperor Humayun when she was in
need of his help .
One of the most popular stories of Raksha Bandhan in India is linked to the
Mughal period when there was a struggle between the Rajputs and the
Mughals . Folklore has it that when the widowed empress of chittor , karnavati
saw crisis in her state she sent a Rakhi to Mughal emperor Humayun and sought
help to protect her state against the attack of Bahadur shah of Gujarat.
According due respect to the thread that Karnavati had sent , Humayun
immediately sent his army to chittor to protect her.
It is also believed that Draupadi tied Rakhi to lord Krishna .
it is believed that Draupadi once tore a strip of her sari and tied it on Krishna’s
wrist, that stopped Krishna’s bleeding from a battlefield wound. Krishna then
declared her as his sister. In return, Lord Krishna protected Draupadi, when she
was abused by the Kauravas in front of Pandavas, who had lost her in a
gambling bet.
Significance
The significance of this festival is so much that the postal department
issues special envelopes at low cost, in which Rakhis can be sent to
their faraway brothers. Indian Railways runs special trains to cherish
the significance of this festival. Even though it takes only a few
minutes to tie a Rakhi, but preparations are done many days in
advance. Sisters choose special Rakhis for their brothers well before
the festival. A brother manages to reach to his sister any-how for the
moment where his sister would wait with empty-stomach to tie the
‘sacred thread
Every member of the family rises early for the rituals that begin in the
morning. A special thali is prepared for the pooja ceremony and is
beautifully decorated with ‘roli’, rice grains, ‘diya’, sweets and rakhis.
This festival also helps siblings realise the importance of growing up
together
