A FESTIVAL REPRESENTING THE BOND BETWEEN BROTHER & SISTERS

 

Today I'm going to write about a  famous festival which is one of my favourite Indian festivals. They celebrated this festival last week. This festival is famous as "Raksha bandhan". This is a very important and sacred festival of Hindus in India. It is celebrated every year on the full moon day of August month. Indian people named this month as Shravan month. So this festival is also called "Shravani festival". This festival is a special occasion for brothers and sisters. Sister's and brother's love-trust which means the sacred relationship of brother-sister takes a special place in this festival.  


"Rakhi" takes a special place in this festival. Actually according to my knowledge it is like the sign of Raksha Bandhan festival. Rakhi is like a thread which is worn on the wrist. Specially sisters make beautiful Rakhis using thread, pearls and beats. Other than that, different types of beautiful and attractive Rakhis are seen in the markets. Nowadays sisters send Rakhis to their brothers who are living far from them by the post. 


I'm specially attracted to the rituals that Hindu sisters do towards their brothers. Rakshabandhan comes every year to highlight the sacred love and relationship of brother and sister. So every year I'm mostly waiting to see the video clips which are related to this Raksha Bandhan festival.
