According to the Hindu calendar, today is the full moon day of Shukla Paksha of Shravan month. Coincidentally, today is also Super Blue Moon Day. But today we are also celebrating the popular festival of Raksha Bandhan (Bond of Protection).
This festival symbolizes the everlasting and unbreakable bond between brothers and sisters. It is celebrated with love and happiness, when sisters tie the sacred thread (Rakhi) on the wrist of their brothers and wish them all the happiness and success in the world.
Rakhi is not just a thread, but it symbolizes the promise of protection given by a brother to his sister. Therefore, people also tie Rakhi to the idols of gods and goddesses on this auspicious day. There are many mythological stories starting from Yama and Yamuna, but what is important is its spirit.
Love between Brothers and Sisters
