Raksha Bandhan is a pure celebration of the world's most treasured relationship. The celebration is of the love between the brother and sister. The occasion of Raksha Bandhan involves tying a rakhi (sacred thread) on the brother's wrist by his sister. This thread symbolizes the sister's love and prayers for her brother's well-being and the brother in return takes life-long vow to protect his sister.
