Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi is one of the ceremonious occasions, celebrated with
gusto by Hindus in various parts of India. The festival commemorates
brother-sister relationship. On the auspicious occasion, the sisters would get
up early, take bath, offer prayers to their favorite deity and call upon their
brothers to meet them at their place. The brothers are given warm welcome on
their arrival. Thereafter, the auspicious thread - Rakhi - is tied on their
wrist, by their sisters. The siblings would share sweets, after which, the
sisters are showered with gifts and money. On the occasion, you may either
prepare sweets for your brother or offer him shop-bought delicacies. If you are
