raksha bandhan par lekh
importance of raksha bandhan
There is a very old tradition of tying Rakhi on the day of Rakshabandhan. Rakshabandhan is a relation of Rakshabandhan where all the sisters and brothers take the responsibility of protection, love and duty towards each other and celebrate Rakshabandhan with lots of best wishes.
Rakhi has great importance in Jainism too. It is not necessary that those to whom sisters tie Rakhi are their real brothers, girls can tie Rakhi to all and all become their brothers.
On this day sister ties Rakhi to her brother, wishing him good luck. Brother promises to protect her in every situation. Thus Raksha Bandhan is the festival of the sacred affection of brother and sister.
