Raksha Bandhan also has special significance in the major festivals of Hinduism. Every year on the full moon day of Sawan month, this festival is celebrated all over the world including India. This time this festival will be celebrated on 3 August 2020. The special thing is that on this day the last Monday of the month of Sawan is also coming so that this festival will be even more attractive. This holy festival of Raksha Bandhan is dedicated to the unwavering love of brothers and sisters. On this day, the sister ties a sutra on the brother's wrist and in return presents the siblings with the promise of protecting her.
Importance of 'Raksha Sutras'
In today's time, the festival of Rakhi is seen as being connected only with brother and sister. However, many legends mention that in ancient times, sages used to tie a sutra on their king's wrist as a promise of protection.
In this regard, Pandit Sunil Sharma says that the festival of Raksha Bandhan is not just a festival of siblings. Whereas it is a festival of protection from the word of Rakhi i.e. Raksha Sutra. Many people still see it as a promise of safety. You too must have seen that whenever there are any religious rituals, Yagya etc. in the house, temple, etc., after the aarti, the thread is tied on the wrist of everyone by the Pandit which is also known as Mouli.
