The sacred festival of Rakshabandhan will be celebrated this time on 3 August 2020. This festival of Rakhi is dedicated to the unwavering love of brothers and sisters. Today we are going to tell you about three things related to Rakshabandhan.
- The festival of Rakshabandhan is being celebrated since the Vedic period. You will be well aware that after the Yagya, rituals, Rakhi is tied on the hands, which is more popularly known as Mauli. This tradition continued from the Vaidik period, later became a symbol of Sibling love.
-Regarding Rakshabandhan, it is mentioned in the Bhavishya Purana that once war broke out between the gods and the Asuras, the Asuras started dominating the gods. Seeing the defeat of the gods, Indra dev sought help from Brahaspati. Then at her suggestion, Indrani (Shachi) tied a thread of silk on her husband's hand with the sanctity of the mantras. This day was the full moon of the month of Sawan. Later the gods emerged victoriously and the Asuras faced defeat.
- A story is also associated with Shri Krishna. During the war of Mahabharata, Shri Krishna suffered a hand injury and blood flowed from his hand. Draupadi tied a portion of her sari on Shri Krishna's hand.
