Rituals
The Raksha Bandhan festival involves several rituals. On this day, the sister performs her brother’s aarti and prays for his long life. Then, she ties a Rakhi on his wrist, puts tilak on his forehead, and feeds him sweets. Brothers show their affection by giving their sister a gift or money.
Why is Bhadra important?
Bhadra is an inauspicious period that falls during the month of Shravan. It is believed that any auspicious activity performed during Bhadra will not be successful. Therefore, it is important to wait for Bhadra to end before tying Rakhi and performing the Raksha Bandhan ritual.
