✅ उत्तर / Answer
Raksha Bandhan is an Indian festival celebrated on the full moon day of Shravan. It has its roots in mythology. According to one legend, Draupadi tore a piece of her sari's pallu and tied it around Lord Krishna's bleeding finger. Krishna promised to always protect her.
In another legend, Indra's wife, Sachi, tied a Rakhi to protect her husband.
Traditionally, a sister ties a Rakhi on her brother's wrist, wishing him a long life, and the brother gives a gift and promises to protect him.
Today, the festival has expanded beyond blood relations to include friends, cousins, and even soldiers.
Culturally, it symbolizes the affection, duty, and protection of siblings.
There is no universally recognized festival, but some cultures have traditions of tying protective threads or amulets to symbolize sibling love.
Legends say Goddess Lakshmi tied a protective thread to King Bali on this full moon day, and Indrani tied a rakhi to Indra, setting a precedent for observing the bond of protection on Purnima.
Key Point: "Raksha" means protection, and "Bandhan" means to tie or bind..
