Raksha Bandhan significance
Raksha means protection and bandhan means bond. The rakhi is a thread of affection and good wishes, tied with the hope that the bond stays strong. Stories from the Mahabharata and the legend of King Bali are often told on this day.
The festival is kept across India under different names and customs. Follow your own family's tradition, including who ties the rakhi and when.
Raksha Bandhan rituals and mantra
Raksha Bandhan rituals follow a simple order in many homes. The sister prepares a thali with the rakhi, tilak, rice and sweets, lights a lamp, applies the tilak and ties the rakhi. The brother then gives a gift.
A traditional verse recited while tying the thread begins Yena baddho Bali raja. Learn the full text from a family elder or priest, and say it in the way they teach.
Gifts and gift ideas for siblings
For raksha bandhan gifts, begin with the person. Explore the forms and colours that feel personal to your bond, then check size, fit and material on the product page. For a rashi design, select the rashi you wish to gift.
