Raksha Bandhan 2023: History

There are many stories related to the origin of this festival. It is believed that once Lord Krishna got injured by a sharp weapon. At that time Draupadi, the wife of Pandavas, tore off a section of her sari and bandaged Madhav's finger. In return for this favour, Shri Krishna pledged to protect Panchali when she would be in trouble.

Krishna accepted it as 'Raksha Sutra' and when the Kauravas attempted to dishonour her by disrobing Panchali in front of her husbands in a court full of courtiers. With Krishna's blessings, Draupadi's sari became endless when Dushasana tried disrobing her.

This is how Shri Krishna saved Panchali just like a brother protects a sister from all evils. Thus, the trend to tie a rakhi has been carried forward throughout history.

Rakhi 2023: Significance

Raksha Bandhan coincides with Gauri Pujan, which falls on Shravan Purnima. It is also an important day for the Brahmin men, who change their Janeyu (sacred thread). A Janeyu is a thread that is diagonally worn over the left shoulder to the right side of the torso. This Vedic ceremony is called Upakarma, and the same is known as Avani Avittam in Tamil Nadu.

Rakhi festivities are traditionally marked by the tying of the sacred thread to the brother's wrist. This thread symbolises not only the bond but also strength/protection that can ward off all kinds of threat. Therefore, sisters pray for the well-being of their brothers and, in turn, get showered with gifts and blessings.
