Raksha Bandhan Info.

According to the Hindu Calendar, Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on the full moon of the Savan month. The Savan month is considered an auspicious period among Hindus and Lord Shiva is worshipped every Monday this entire time. This year, August 26 is the last day of the Savan month.

The significance of this festival is so much that the postal department issues special envelopes at low cost, in which Rakhis can be sent to their faraway brothers. Indian Railways runs special trains to cherish the significance of this festival. Even though it takes only a few minutes to tie a Rakhi, but preparations are done many days in advance. Sisters choose special Rakhis for their brothers well before the festival. A brother manages to reach to his sister any-how for the moment where his sister would wait with empty-stomach to tie the ‘sacred thread’.
One of the most popular stories of Raksha Bandhan in India is linked to the Mughal period when there was a struggle between Rajputs and the Mughals. Folklore has it that when the widowed Empress of Chittor, Karnavati, saw crisis in her state, she sent a Rakhi to Mughal emperor Humayun and sought help to protect her state against the attack of Bahadur Shah of Gujarat. According due respect to the thread that Karnavati had sent, Humayun immediately sent his army to Chittor to protect her.

Raksha Bandhan also finds its links to the birth of Goddess Santoshi, and the relationship Goddess Laxmi and King Bali shared among many other fables of similar nature. Ther eis also a belief that Raksha Bandhan was even followed by Lord Yama (God of Death) and his sister Yamuna (river). Yamuna tied Rakhi to Yama and bestowed immortality.

Whatever be the stories or myths associated with the festival, it is celebrated with full fervour with a dash of modern trends. The importance of Rakhi is not limited to common people and their families, even politicians consider this festival as an important tradition. Every year thousands of Rakhis are sent to President, Prime Minister and prominent personalities across the country.
