Monday, August 19th, 2024 - Rakhi Festival

It is Raksha Bandhan, commonly known as the Rakhi festival. Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated this year on the 19th of August. It's high time for everyone staying abroad to send Rakhi to India, the United States of America, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and show your respect towards your brother.

Raksha Bandhan is a special festival in the Hindu Religion that celebrates the brother and sister bond by tying a holy thread around the brothers' wrists. This thread is known as 'Rakhi.' The sister conducts aarti before her brother and puts a tilak of roli and rice on his forehead so that God blesses him. It is believed that the thread tied by the sister has the power to protect the brothers.

Raksha Bandhan festival is always celebrated on the full moon of the Hindu month Shraavana. According to the English calendar, it usually falls in August. Check the following calendar of dates for Raksha Bandhan in the coming few years:
