Around mid-August, Hindus all over the world celebrate Raksha Bandhan. "Raksha" means protection, and "Bandhan" means bound or binding.
In ancient times a woman tied a 'Raksha' on her husband's wrist to protect him from evil. Gradually this changed; she tied a 'Raksha' on her brother's right wrist, to protect him from evil influence and those factors which may taint his character, and to strengthen the bond of sibling love between them. On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan she visits her brother's home and performs his 'pujan' by applying kumkum and rice grains on his forehead. In return the brother gives her a gift and vows to protect her too.
India is the land of fairs and festivals, and togetherness of relationships is the main essence of festive celebrations.
