Raksha Bandhan is one of India’s favourite festivals. It is a festival that celebrates the bond between siblings with a promise to protect each other. Ceremonies and rituals aside, the real reason why siblings look forward to Rakhi, is all the gifts and sweets they get to indulge in.

The festival has been an important part of Indian households for centuries. According to mythology, the origin of the festivals dates back to the time of the Mahabharata. Legend says that Lord Krishna was once flying a kite, and accidentally injured his finger.

Seeing blood, Draupadi immediately rushed to his help and tied a cloth around his finger to stop the bleeding.

Pleased with the affection showered towards him, Lord Krishna made a vow to protect her from harm.

To commemorate the bond they share, each year sisters tie colourful threads around their brother’s wrists called Rakhis, while brothers offer gifts and promise to protect them in return.

To celebrate Rakhi with full swing this year, here are a few suggestions from our team at Crossbeats!
