Rakshabandhan means tying a Rakhi to someone for your protection. While tying the Rakhi, the sister says that brother, I am in your refuge, protect me in every way. A brother promises to protect his sister.
Importance of Rakshabandhan
Rakshabandhan is considered an important and historical festival among Indian festivals. It started millions of years ago during the war between gods and demons. At that time, on the day of Shravan Purnima, Queen Shachi, wife of Devraj Indra, tied a protective thread on the hand of her husband Indra, which was sanctified with Vedic mantras and with the power of this protective thread, he became fearless of his enemies. Indra conquered his enemies.
With changing times, sisters started tying this Raksha Sutra to their brothers. Rakhi, which was earlier a symbol of protection of good fortune for women, has now turned into a sacred bond of love between brother and sister. This Rakhi has always brought success in war, it is a great mantra of unity. Everyone should celebrate it with joy.

Avoid the inauspicious time of Raksha Bandhan 2024
Raksha Bandhan rituals should not be performed during Bhadra as it is considered an inauspicious time in Hindu religious texts. Bhadra occurs in the first half of the full moon date. Most religious texts, such as fasting, puja do not recommend doing any auspicious work during Bhadra. There is a tradition of tying Rakhi in the morning in North India, but this time it is not the ideal time for Raksha Bandhan due to Bhadra. Therefore, this festival can be made even more special and memorable by tying Rakhi at the right time.
