Rakhi is a very special festival of India that speaks volumes about the emotional attachment of the Indians with their siblings and families. Unique in its conception, Raksha Bndhan or Rakhi is celebrated as a symbol of love and good wishes of a sister for her brother's long life and prosperity and the protective role of the brother to keep away all the miseries and harm from his beloved sister.
The Raksha Bandhan festival is celebrated to commemorate the everlasting bond between brothers and sisters. Though it is marked by a simple ceremony, in which a woman ties a Rakhi on her brother's wrist, but it has got a great significance. The word Raksha signifies protection where as Bandhan means an enduring bond of love. The brother, on his part, recognizes this special bond and by extending his wrist forward, he in fact extends the hand of protection over his sister.
