Raksha Bandha is observed every year on Purnima (full moon) day of the month of Shravan of the Hindi calendar.
Every year, brother and sister celebrate Raksha Bandhan to honour their bond. Sisters tie a strand of Rakhi on their brother's wrist for their safety and wish for their long life, and in return, brothers promise to protect them from evil. A strand of Rakhi signifies the bond of the duo, and the festival is called Raksha Bandhan. Brothers and sisters might fight all the time but Rakhsha Bandhan is one such festival that reunites them every year, with the promise of love and support.
