Rakhi or Raksha
Bandhan is the celebration of the unspoken love between two siblings,
specifically between a brother and a sister. On this auspicious day,
sisters keep a fast from the morning until they tie the sacred thread
of Rakhi on the forehand of their brothers. This sacred thread is
called Rakhi and the festival is called Raksha
Bandhan which means 'the bond of protection'.
This thread is embellished with the love and care of the dear sister
for her dearest brother. By tying this thread of
rakhi, sisters make promise to protect her
brother from every danger or omen energies. Falls on the Shravan
Purnima (the full moon day of the Hindu month 'Shravana') popularly
known as Rakhi Purnima, Raksha Bandhan normally comes in the month of
August.

In every part of India, Rakhi is being

the excitement and preparation which starts days before this festival,
makes it a national festival. In North and South India, it is known as
Rakhi
Purnima. It is called as Nariyal Purnima in
parts of Goa, Gujarat and Maharashtra. In central India like in Bihar,
Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Jharkand, this day in known as Kajari

of Gujarat. Though the color and the customs vary from place to place,
the core essence of this festival remains same everywhere. Even the
non-residential Indians send Rakhi to
India and take part in this
celebration.
As world is now turning into a global
village, an increasing number of Indians are living abroad. Their
families, living in different corners of this country, cherish the
dream of celebrating the special days like Rakhi, Diwali or Holi
together. Indians consider any occasion, small or big, as a time of
family get together. Families visit and gather at their ancestral home,
get in touch with the full family and enjoy the festival together with
grand celebrations. Likewise on Rakhi, every sister expect that her
brother will come home and together they will celebrate with all fun
and gaiety. But due to professional or personal reasons, brothers find
it very difficult to get the leave permission and return back to their
home. For those brothers sending Rakhi gifts to India
is the best possible option. Same way, sisters living abroad, send rakhi to
India online and wish their dear brothers all
the good luck and success in the world.
