Rakhi
the ‘Thread of Love’ or Raksha
Bandhan is a festival celebrating to strengthen
the bond of affection, protection and
rediscover the relation between brothers

in the human psyche-the supportive and
familial bond of love between brothers
and sisters. This day siblings pray for
each others' well being and wish for each
others' happiness. |

The Rakhi given by the sister to
the brother on this day and the
brother reaffirm a pledge to protect
his sister from all harms and troubles
and a prayer from the sister to
protect the brother from all evil.
It also represents the shared connections
of a harmonious and intertwined
social order where everyone in society
considers themselves brothers and
sisters, united by shared bonds
of noble love. This creates a feeling
of belongingness and oneness amongst
the family.
