Bandhan is a verb to tie.
3. Raksha Bandhan
Rakhi (Raksha) symbolizes a spirit of
brotherhood and harmony amongst all sections
of society, irrespective of race, religion, and
color.
On this auspicious occasion we inspire
ourselves with the true spirit of service and
sacrifice for the welfare of the society and find
there in the highest spiritual fulfillment of
human life.
4. HISTORY
The Rajput queens practiced the custom of
sending Rakhi threads to neighboring rulers as
token of brotherhood.
The story of Rani Karnavati and Emperor
Humayun is the most significant in the history.
Raksha Bandhan also traces it’s root to the tale
of Krishna and Draupadi.

6. Perhaps the most popular of the rakhi stories in our
mythology is that of Lord Krishna and Draupadi -- the wife
of the five Pandavas.
An incident in their lives finds a mention amongst
the various stories of the Mahabharata.
According to one version on a Sankranti day,
Krishna managed to cut his little finger while handling
sugarcane. Rukmini, his queen immediately sent her help
to get a bandage cloth while Sathyabama, his other
consort rushed to bring some cloth herself.
7. Draupadi who was watching all of this rather simply
tore off a part of her sari and bandaged his finger.
In return for this deed, Krishna promised to protect
her in time of distress.
The word he is said to have uttered is 'Akshyam'
which was a boon: 'May it be unending'.
And that was how Draupadi's sari became endless
and saved her embarrassment on the day she was
disrobed in full public view in king Dritarashtra's court.
8. CUSTOMS AND PRACTICES
As the rakhi is tied, a prayer is offered
asking for happiness and prosperity.
Today Rakhis are often decorated with
multi- coloured silk thread, and often
adorned with stones and beads.
At the end of ceremony the sister
places a sweet in her brothers mouth.
Following this her brother gives her a
small monetary gift of appreciation.
