The Story & Truth Behind Raksha Bandhan | Raksha Bandhan 2023 Special
Raksha Bandhan is a festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters, but do you know how it originated and what it signifies?

There are many legends and stories associated with this festival, but I found three of them very interesting and enlightening. They revealed to me the true meaning of Raksha Bandhan, which was hidden for so long. These stories changed my perception of the festival. I used to think that when my sister ties a rakhi on my wrist, it means that I have to protect her (which is true even without a rakhi), but these stories showed me that the festival started with women tying a thread on men’s wrists to protect them from evil, and in return, men promised to protect them always.

I also learned that the festival evolved over time, especially during the Mughal and British eras, when it became more focused on the theme of brother protecting sister, and the reasons behind it.

I have summarized these stories in this reel for you to enjoy and learn from. I hope you will appreciate them as much as I did.

Happy Raksha Bandhan to all of you.
