Rakhi is a ceremonious occasion, observed with gusto, by Hindus in various parts
of India. It is a very popular festival in northern, eastern and western parts
of India. Also called Raksha Bandhan, the festival commemorates the strong tie
between a brother and a sister. Since a long time, Rakhi - sacred thread - is
tied on the wrist of the brothers by their sisters. In return, the brothers
would present gifts or money to their sisters. Greetings are also exchanged
between the siblings. The festival is observed on 'Shravan Purnima' (full moon
day of the Hindu month of Shravan), which corresponds to August, as per the
Gregorian calendar.
