History of Raksha Bandhan
This festival is celebrated on a full-moon day of the Shravana month in Hindu calendar. Before learning how to celebrate Raksha Bandhan, let’s know why it is celebrated in India. Raksha Bandhan has its roots in a popular incident described in Mahabharata. Once Lord Krishna was flying a kite and he accidentally cut one of his fingers on his sudarshan. Princess Draupadi then tore a piece of cloth from her saree and tied it around his finger to stop the bleeding. Krishna was swamped with this kind gesture and promised that he will protect Draupadi from all evils throughout his life.
