SIGNIFICANCE OF RAKSHABANDHAN

Radhaa💙💙
In Sanskrit, Raksha means "protection" and Bandhan means "a bond". Raksha Bandhan, commonly known as Rakhi, celebrates the good wishes and protective bonds between brothers and sisters. This is an ancient Hindu festival that celebrates the relationship between brothers and sisters, but it also begins to show any relationships or bonds of goodwill and friendship. Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravan. It mainly falls in August during the monsoon season. 

ESSENCE OF TYING RAKHI
 Rakhi is a sacred line of protection, adorned with the sister's love and affection for her brother. This fragile Rakhi line is considered stronger than an iron chain because it connects the most beautiful relationships with the inseparable bond of love and trust. The Rakhi festival also has social significance because it emphasizes the idea that everyone should live in harmony.

SOME STORIES ASSOCIATED WITH IT 
One of the most popular myths associated with this holiday is the myth of Lord Krishna and Drupadi. Legend has it that after Krishna cut off the head of his old enemy Shisupal, he cut off his finger. Drupadi quickly bandaged the wound with a cloth. Krishna told her that he owed her a debt and that he would repay her for her good deeds when she needed it. Later in the Mahabharata, when Draupadi was undressing, Krishna protected her so that she would never be without clothes, which meant that Kauravas could not take them off. 
Another legend deals with the god of death Yum and his sister, the river goddess the Yamuna. The Yamuna was very upset that her brother had not come to see her for 12 years. She sought the help of the Ganges, and the Ganges asked Yam to visit her sister. Before their arrival, Yamuna carefully prepared a feast. King Yama was overjoyed and gave him a gift of his choice. She hoped that he would visit her often. Yum was moved and gave him immortality so that he could see her as he wanted. 
Once, Lord Vishnu had to live in the kingdom of the King of Bali because of a promise. Goddess Lakshmi prayed for her husband's return, so she went to the Kingdom of Bali and tied a Rakhi on his wrist. When the king of Bali asked her what gift she wanted, she asked to allow her husband to go home. 

Therefore it is also a great sacred verse of unity, acting as a symbol of life's advancement and a leading messenger of togetherness. Raksha means protection, and in some places in medieval India, where women felt unsafe, they tie Rakhi on the wrist of men, regarding them as brothers. In this way, Rakhi strengthens the bond of love between brothers and sisters and revives the emotional bonding. Relationships have always been considered a vital part and parcel of every individual’s life. Years come and go, but certain relationships are there to stay forever. Especially, when it comes to taking a deep dip into the cultural sea of India, these eternal bonds are celebrated in every special way.
