SIGNIFICANCE OF RAKSHA BANDHAN

Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi Purnima is an Indian festival that celebrates the beautiful relationship between a brother and sister.

With Raksha Bandhan just around the corner, let us help you sweeten this auspicious day with delicious Indian sweets from Sriannapurna.

The Hindu epic Mahabharata is where Raksha Bandhan’s importance may be found. It is stated that Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, tore off a piece of a saree and attached it to the Hindu God Krishna’s damaged finger on the full moon day of the Hindu calendar month of Shravana. This plain piece of fabric was gratefully accepted by Krishna as a Raksha Surta, or assurance of protection. When the Kauravas attempted to defame Draupadi in court by making her saree an infinite piece of fabric, he kept his word.

Today, while celebrating Raksha Bandhan, the sister ties a Rakhi, a colorful thread to her brother’s wrist as a symbol of her love, and the brother, in turn, gives her a gift to adore their bond.

Raksha Bandhan like any Indian celebration is incomplete without mouthwatering food, and of course, a plate of delicious Indian sweets.
