Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi Purnima is an Indian festival that celebrates the beautiful bond between a brother and sister.
With Raksha Bandhan just around the corner, let us help you sweeten this auspicious day with irresistible Indian sweets from Rajbhog Foods.
The significance of Raksha Bandhan can be traced back to the Hindu epic Mahabharata. On the full moon day of the Hindu calendar month, Shravana, it is said that Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, tore off a piece of a saree and tied it to the Hindu God Krishna’s injured finger. A grateful Krishna acknowledged this simple piece of cloth as Raksha Surta, or a promise of protection. He fulfilled his promise when the Kauravas tried to dishonor Draupadi in court by making her saree an endless piece of cloth.
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 cherish their bond.
Raksha Bandhan like any Indian celebration is incomplete without mouthwatering food, and of course, a platter of delicious Indian sweets.
