Bonding Between Brother and Sister

Raksha Bandhan places a strong focus on the ideas of care
and protection. Rakhi (holy thread) is a symbol of a sister’s
confidence and assurance that her brother would always be
there to protect her, both physically and emotionally.
Hindus celebrate Rakhsha Bandhan, sometimes referred to
as Rakhi, which is a well-known festival. The underlying
meaning of Rakhsha Bandhan is that it represents the love
and brotherhood that exist among Indians. This holiday is
extensively observed in India. In the history and mythology
of India, there are a number of tales that describe how this
festival first came to be.
Mythological Time
There is another narrative that supports the genesis of the
occasion known as Raksha Bandhan according which Lord
Krishna destroyed the devil King Shishupal to safeguard
the Dharma on earth. During the battle, Lord Krishna
suffered a bleeding finger. Draupadi noticed his damaged
finger was bleeding, so she tore a piece of her saree and tied
it around it to stop the bleeding. She was valued by Lord
Krishna for her love and concern. She had a sisterly
affection and compassion that he felt bound by. He
promised to pay her future debt of appreciation back. After
many years, the treacherous Kauravas won the Pandavas’
wife Draupadi in a game of chance. When they made an
attempt to take Draupadi’s saree, Lord Krishna used his
heavenly abilities to save Draupadi’s honor.
