Raksha Bandhan is an Indian festival that celebrates the relationship between brothers and sisters. It is observed on the full moon day in the month of Shravana or Sawan as per the Hindu lunar calendar, and this year, it falls on Monday, 03 August.
On the day of Raksha Bandhan, sisters tie the sacred thread rakhi on the brother's wrist praying for his wellness and prosperity. In return, brothers take a lifelong vow to protect her. Special gifts will also be exchanged between brothers and sisters. Men and women, who are not biologically brothers and sisters, also celebrate the occasion to show how much they mean to each other.
