Why is Raksha Bandhan Celebrated?
Raksha Bandhan, often called Rakhi, celebrates the unconditional love between brothers and sisters. ‘ Raksha’ means ‘protection,’ and ‘Bandhan’ means ‘bond.’
On this day, sisters tie a sacred thread (Rakhi) around their brothers’ wrists as a symbol of their love, and in return, brothers pledge to protect and care for their sisters. Then both of them exchange sweets.
Tradition Behind Serving Sweets on Raksha Bandhan
Sweets are very important in Raksha Bandhan celebrations. They are a way to express love and joy, symbolizing the sweetness of the relationship between siblings. As the Rakhi thread binds brothers and sisters, sweets bind their hearts with love. The tradition reflects the motto of sharing happiness and spreading joy.
Importance of Khoya Sweets in Raksha Bandhan Celebrations
Khoya sweets, also known as khoya mithai, hold a special place in Indian cuisine and culture. These rich delicacies are crafted from real khoya that offer a traditional taste. Khoya is a creamy milk fudge that serves as the base for various mouth-watering desserts.
During Raksha Bandhan, exchanging khoya sweets enhances the joy of festivities as they come with the real desi taste. The delightful mix of textures and flavors is the secret behind the authentic taste!
