Raksha Bandhan, falling on 10th August 2025 (Sunday), is not just about tying a thread—it’s a celebration of trust, memories, and unconditional sibling love. In every Indian household, this festival brings joy, rituals, and sweets.
Raksha Bandhan means "the bond of protection." On this day, a sister ties a rakhi (sacred thread) on her brother’s wrist, and he promises to protect her forever. It’s a cultural promise wrapped in tradition and affection.
The festival has roots in multiple mythological stories. One of the most popular tales is of Lord Krishna and Draupadi. When Krishna hurt his finger, Draupadi tore a piece of her sari to bandage it. Touched by her gesture, Krishna vowed to protect her forever. This is believed to be the emotional origin of Raksha Bandhan.
Historically, Rani Karnavati of Mewar sent a rakhi to Mughal Emperor Humayun seeking protection from Bahadur Shah. This shows that Raksha Bandhan wasn’t just limited to blood relations—it symbolized protection and unity.
Today, Raksha Bandhan has become a family festival where siblings come together. Sisters perform aarti, apply tilak, tie rakhi, and offer sweets. Brothers give gifts in return and vow to always protect their sisters. Modern trends include virtual rakhis, gift hampers, and long-distance video calls.
Every Raksha Bandhan, people look for unique ways to make the day special. Here are some top trending searches for 2025:
