Point of View
History and Significance of
Raksha Bandhan
Raksha
Bandhan is a term from the Hindi language which means a relationship or an
association based on protection. This is a festival which has a long standing
Indian heritage. More commonly known as Rakhi, this Indian festival signifies
the sacred bond of love between a brother and sister.
The Changing Face of Raksha Bandhan
Rakhi, though considered by some as having a religious origin. But, there have been many occasions in history that have emphasized the relationship between a brother and a sister more than the religious side of it. Gradually, over the centuries and over time Rakhi has lost its original outlook that made everyone associate it with the Hindu religion.
Origin of Raksha Bandhan
As with other Indian festivals, Rakhi also follows the festival calendar that is completely based on the weather changes and their significance in the lives of people. Rakhi has a rich Indian mythological base. Many historically significant epics are related to the origin and the subsequent development of Raksha Bandhan. The festival also finds a mention in most of the epics and its origin can be traced to as far back as the ancient times. - Sunil Kumar
