The festival of Rakhi is right around the corner, and siblings everywhere are ready to mark this day with much excitement. Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival honouring the special bond shared between siblings. It is celebrated enthusiastically in all parts of India, especially in the North and West. It falls on the full moon day (Purnima) of Shravan or Sawan month. On this day, the sisters tie Rakhi on their brother's wrists and wish them a long, prosperous and happy life. In return, the brothers promise to protect their sisters throughout their life. Siblings also exchange special gifts on this day, with brother pampering sisters with their favourite things.
