What is the meaning of Raksha Bandhan?

meaning "Knot of Protection" is one of the most important festivals
celebrated by Hindus throughout the world. The festival stands for the
beautiful relationship shared between brothers and sisters. A lifelong promise
of protection is made on this special occasion. It exhibits the beautiful
relationship of love, care and affection between siblings.
Raksha Bandhan, also
called Rakhi Purnima or just Rakhi, has deep rooted historical significance.
There are various stories linked with the past mythology of the hindu religion.
People believe and follow different stories from the past. The most famous and
relied upon story of them all is that of Rani Karnavati of Chittor and the
Mughal Emperor Humayun. Rani Karnawati was the widowed queen of Chittor, which
had been attacked by Bahadur Shah, Sultan of Gujarat. The queen realized that
defending her empire from the invasion was not possible for her and in lieu of
protection and help, she sent a Rakhi to the Mughal Emperor, Humayun. On
receiving the rakhi, the Emperor was overwhelmed and became emotional. He,
along with his troops, immediately set out to protect Chittor from the
invasion. Alas, he could not reach on time. The Sultan of Gujarat had, by then,
reached the queen`s fortress. All the women, in the fortress including Rani
Karnawati had performed Jauhar (mass suicide) by then. Humayun, on reaching the
fortress, fought with Bahadur Shah and evicted him from the land. The empire
was handed over to Rani Karnawati`s son, Vikramjeet Singh. Since then, the act
of a sister tying a rakhi on the wrist of her brother indicates lifelong
protection from him.
Raksha Bandhan is a
beautiful Hindu festival where sisters dress up beautifully in order to
celebrate this special occasion with their brothers. Sisters also pray for a
prosperous future and a long life for their brothers. Rakhi holds great
emotional and religious significance. The festival keeps the deep rooted
culture of the country alive, strengthens the relationship of siblings and
ensures togetherness.
The festival of
Raksha Bandhan, brings the entire family together. The day starts with everyone

regional specialties are brought. The sister ties a rakhi on her brother`s
wrist and performs aarti, praying for his well-being and then sweetens his
mouth with a delicacy. Brothers in return give gifts to their sisters to
express their love.
