Raksha Bandhan symbolizes the love and care a brother and sister have for each other.

Let us tell you that Raksha Bandhan is considered to be a symbol of brother and sister's love. The festival is celebrated every year on the full moon day of the month of Shravan. Sisters tie rakhi to their brothers on this holy festival. This festival shows the unbreakable bond of brother and sister love.

After the rakhi tying ritual, the brother lovingly gives money or gifts to his sister, and always promises to protect her. The festival of Raksha Bandhan is centuries old and there is no clear information on when it started.
