The festival of Raksha Bandhan is a symbol of the loving bond between siblings. On this festival, siblings pledge to protect each other.

The Raksha Bandhan has its roots in the Mahabharata. Lord Krishna’s finger began bleeding from a cut. Seeing this, Draupadi, the Queen of the Pandavas, tied a piece of cloth using the loose end of her saree. Moved by her act, Lord Krishna had promised to protect her always and kept his promise by saving her honour while she was being humiliated in the Hastinapur royal court.
