India is a country of festivals.
Various types of festivals are celebrated here. Every festival has its special
significance. Rakshabandhan is a festival symbol of brother-sister love. It is
also a festival festival of India’s Guru-disciple tradition. It is a sacred
festival to esteem the importance of charity.
The festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on the day
of Shravan Purnima. In the month of Shravan, the Rishigans used to study and
offer sacrifices in the ashram. The Shravan-Purnima was fulfilled in the form
of a monthly sacrifice. At the end of the sacrifice, the practice of tie-up the
hosts to the hosts and the disciples was custom. Hence its name is known as
Prevention of Defense. In keeping with this tradition, Brahmin still keeps his
hosts safeguarding. Later this same defense-formula started to be called Rakhi.
Braving the formula on the wrist, the Brahmins pronounce the following mantra
That is, the instrument of defense
(Rakhi) was tied to the high-blooded monster Rajya Bali, I bind you. O Goddess!
You too do not dash with your duties, that is, to protect it from everything
else.
Nowadays Rakhi is considered to be the festival of
brother and sister. The sisters wait for this festival from the month before.
On this occasion, married sisters maternal in-laws and organize rakhi banding
on the wrist of the brothers. They apply tilak on their forehead and bind them
with a rakhi. Brother gives happiness to the sister by giving some gifts. Love
gives new clothes and money. The family has a sense of happiness. In the hands
of older children, the defense-threads are tied. Special dishes are made in the
house.
On the occasion of Rakshabandhan, there is a special
initiative in the market. With colorful hawkers, shops are more rigid. People
buy different types of Rakhi. There is a lot of crowd at the confectionery
shop. People take gifts and buy sweets packets for use at home.
On the day of Shravan Purnima, special puja is performed
in the temples. People come to Jalgaon to carry water to Shivaji while walking
miles. The scene of walking with a crowbar on the brow is very unique. This
trip brings great pleasure. Shravani Mela seems to be held at several pilgrim
centers. There are puja lessons and havan programs in the house. Donation has
been recognized as a special significance of Raksha Bandhan. This is called the
virtue of virtue, it is said. People feed the bunches and give them new
clothes. The pandit is supplied to the Purites and donations are given to

and reconciliation. All members of the family are gathered on this occasion.
Married sisters come in contact with my maternal uncle. The memories of
childhood become alive in his mind. Children and girls dressed in new clothes,
dressed in the courtyard. The sister binds the rakhi in the brother’s wrist and
promises her protection. Brother follows this promise. In this way, there is
strongness in family relationships. People begin to give importance to mutual
