This festival is primarily celebrated in India, Mauritius and Nepal. In India this festival is celebrated very zealously. A big variety of Rakhis are available in the market and a crowd of sisters is there on every shop.
In the event, the whole family gets together and sisters tie the rakhis to all their brothers at one place. In modern times, the rakhis are not only for brothers but also for their wives and this festival is having a great importance as family members get together for this festival in modern and fast life.

- Rakhi Purnima, known as Raksha Bandhan, is a famous festival observed by the Hindu community. On this auspicious day, the brothers traditionally consolidate their oath to protect their sisters from any obstacle. The sisters worship their brothers, tie a holy bracelet on their wrist, and receive gifts and money from their elders.
- Rakhi is the symbol of love and unity, but if we study Hindu mythology, it is concluded that rakhi was not performed traditionally by siblings in ancient times. The wives conducted their rites on their husbands. In the legendary tale of Lord Indra Dev and his wife Sachi, Lord Indra went on a fierce battle with a powerful demonic king Bali. Fearing the threatened life of Lord Indra, his wife Sachi tied a pious bracelet to her husband’s wrist that was given to by Lord Vishnu. Thus, in ancient times the tying of thread has become a tradition for married couples, but in the present time, it has extended from brothers and sisters to every kind of relationship
