Raksha Bandhan 2025 | Hindu Festival
Raksha Bandhan is a special Hindu festival dedicated to brothers and sisters' love.
Saturday 9th August 2025 - Raksha Bandhan (or Raksha Bandhana) is a Hindu festival that celebrates the bonds between a brother and sister, celebrated on the full-moon day during Shravana (July-August), the 5th month in the Hindu lunar calendarShravana month during full moon day or Purnima day.
On this day, sisters tie a protection thread 'Rakhi' on their brother's wrist as a mark of affection and pray for his long life. The brothers, in return, offer gifts and promise to protect their sisters all their lives.
The highlight of the ceremony is when a sister ties the Rakhi, a bejewelled silk string, around her brother's wrist. These days, more elaborate modern versions of the rakhi may be gold or intricately woven strands of silk, but the traditional rakhi given to brothers on Raksha Bandhan is a single strand of silk that symbolizes the bond. The silk is delicate...almost invisible, but extremely strong. On Raksha Bandhan prayers are also said as the entire family joins the celebration.
