Raksha Bandhan 2026: The festival of Raksha Bandhan is a sacred Hindu festival. On this festival, sisters tie a Rakhi, a sacred thread, on the wrists of their brothers. After tying it, sisters perform aarti for their brothers and feed them sweets. Brothers give gifts to their sisters and pledge to protect them.
