Happy Raksha Bandhan Festival Poster Templates: Raksha Bandhan, often simply known as Rakhi, is a profound Indian festival that celebrates the unconditional love and bond shared between siblings. Translating to the ‘Bond of Protection’, this day signifies the promises made between brothers and sisters.
Historical Origins and Legends
Raksha Bandhan, a festival celebrated with immense joy and fervor across India, translates to “the bond of protection or care.” It’s not just a day to exchange gifts but a significant event that strengthens the bond between siblings, primarily brothers and sisters.
Historically, Raksha Bandhan traces its origins to various stories from Indian mythology and history. One such legend involves Draupadi and Lord Krishna, where Draupadi tied a torn piece of her saree around Krishna’s injured wrist, which in return led him to promise her protection. Another folklore narrates how a thread tied by Queen Karnavati to Emperor Humayun led him to protect her kingdom.
Though its origin might stem from various tales, the core sentiment remains a pledge of protection and love between siblings.

More than Just a Ceremony
