Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan bhai-behen ke pyaar ka tyohar hai. Is din behen apne bhai ki kalai par rakhi baandhti hai aur bhai zindagi bhar uski raksha ka vachan deta hai.

Kahaani kehti hai ki jab Bhagwan Krishna ki ungli mein chot lagi, to Draupadi ne turant apni saree ka kinara phaad kar unki ungli par baandh diya. Krishna ne us chhote se dhaage ko rishta maan liya aur vachan diya ki jab bhi Draupadi ko zaroorat hogi, wo uski raksha karenge. Cheer-haran ke samay Krishna ne apna ye vachan nibhaya.

Ek aur kahaani Rani Karnavati aur Badshah Humayun ki hai. Mewar par hamla hua to Rani ne Humayun ko rakhi bheji. Humayun ne rakhi ka maan rakha aur apni sena lekar madad ke liye nikal pade.

Isi liye ye dhaaga sirf resham ka nahi — vishwas aur raksha ka bandhan hai. Sawan ki Purnima ke din behen rakhi baandhti hai, mithai khilati hai, aur bhai uphaar deta hai.
