The Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan celebrates the love and duty between brothers and sisters. Of late it has become popular in celebrating any brother-sister like relationship between men and women who are relatives, friends or not related by blood.

It is an ancient festival with many myths and historic legends surrounding it. On the day of the festival, sisters tie a Rakhi on her brother's wrist. This sacred act symbolizes the love and care that sister has for her brother and the lifelong vow to protect his sister.The festival is an occasion where cousins, distant relatives and friends celebrate the brother-sister bond. It brings together men and women of different religion and ethnic groups, stressing on love and peace amongst one another.

The Rakhi ritual is the most important ritual on Raksha Bandhan. Brothers and sisters are dressed in their best clothes and in the presence of family members the sister ties the Rakhi on her brother's wrist. Once the Rakhi is tied, an aarti is ritually rotated around the brother's face along with prayer and well wishes.

This is followed by applying tilak on the forehead of the brother. The brother vows to protect and take care of his sister under all circumstances followed by the sister feeding sweets to her brother.
