Relationships have always been considered a vital part of each individual's life. The years come and go, but some relationships are there to stay forever. In particular, when it comes to diving deeply into the cultural sea of India, these eternal bonds are celebrated in a particular way. Such a feast that gladdens each of these sacred bonds is the occasion of Rakshabandhan, which is the celebration of an eternal bond between a brother and a sister.
That day, the sister knots a thread around her brother's wrist, also known as "Rakhi", which shows her adoration and aspiration for the well-being and health of her brother. In return, the brother gives something to his sister as a sign of love and appreciation. For centuries, this festival has created great joy and a sense of celebration in the lives of people and, over time, the celebration has become larger and more elaborate in terms of style and approach.
Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi)
In countries like India, Nepal, Mauritius and Pakistan, the sanctified relationship between a brother and a sister is celebrated through the Raksha Bandhan Festival.
This festival attracted the attention of the public towards the Mughal era, as the Mughal emperor Humayun had the opportunity to share a fraternal bond with the Chittor queen, Rani Karnavati, when a traditional ritual was sent to her while she needed help. . Previously, this traditional festival was celebrated more ethnically by rising early, praying before the gods and following each traditional ritual from beginning to end.
Style and clothes
Today, the sisters wear traditional clothes such as lehenga cholis, salwar and even sari, and wear authentic jewelry, simple or ornate, according to the tastes of each. In addition, the brothers wear traditional kurta pajamas, embroidered and designed in an ethnic way.
The Rakhi, who were once very simple, are now extremely glamorous and deserve all their gratitude. Silk threads inlaid with stones or pearls are widely available in the market. In some cases, gold or silver nail bracelets are also purchased instead of traditional thread.
The traditional procedure
The occasion begins when the brother sits on a well-matted carpet, waiting to be pampered by his adorable sister. Then the sister applies a red dot on the brother's forehead, which is a tika covered with prayers and wishes for happiness. Then the sister performs an atii as a traditional gesture of gratitude, and then fastens a colorful and decorated rakhi on the brother's wrist that unites them in an eternal bond of love and security.
In exchange, the brother, after blessing his sister with promises of safeguard, gives him unlimited gifts of his choices or, in some cases, also money. Then, a lot of delicious treats are served to each other, followed by a sumptuous and delicious meal.
At the end of the day, the unlimited thoughts, blessings, promises and mutual love are the main ingredients that make this festival even more valuable and meaningful to be appreciated all your life.
Current scenario.
In today's developed world, not only brothers and sisters born of blood, but also cousins, as well as adoptive brothers, can also enjoy the privilege of celebrating this festival. At the same time, in the modern world of today, the concept of "e-rakhi" has gained popularity, which underlines the concept of virtual celebrations of rakhi, especially designed for people who live far away from their brothers. Therefore, we can say that even if the world has progressed in leaps and bounds, some opportunities retain their essence for eternity.
In addition to all this, several Indian films with songs, commercials and marketing companies have focused on this festival and have made it more attractive and attractive.
