Raksha Bandhan, commonly known as Rakhi, is celebrated today (Monday). This traditional Hindu festival honors the bond of love between brothers and sisters. Sisters tie rakhis on their brother’s wrists, who in return offer gifts as a sign of love and care. The festival, deeply rooted in Indian culture, has been observed for centuries and is referenced in Hindu religious texts.
