Raksha Bandhan is a celebration of the bond that exists between brothers and sisters. It is one of the most important Indian festivals amongst the Hindus. It is not only celebrated in India but across the world where Hindus reside.

On this day sisters tie Rakhi, a protective band (raksha dhaga) on their brother’s hand that ensures the safety of the brother. In return, the brother promises her the same.

Raksha Bandhan is rooted in mythology. It is said that during Mahabharat, when Lord Krishna accidentally nicked his finger on his ‘Sudarshan Chakra’, Draupadi tore a piece of her saree and tied it to his finger to stop the bleeding. Lord Krishna was so touched by her gesture that he promised to always protect her.

Raksha bandhan is known by different names in different states. In Uttar Pradesh it is known as Sharvni, in Tamil Nadu it is Avni Avattam, in Maharastra it is Naryal Purnima, and the list continues. Listen to the podcast to know about the history of Rakhsha Bandhan during partition of Bengal.
