On this day, sisters tie a colorful thread, known as Rakhi, on their brothers&#8217; wrists, symbolizing their love and affection. In return, brothers pledge to protect and take care of their sisters throughout their lives. This ritual strengthens the emotional connection between siblings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Historical_Context\"><\/span>Historical Context<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raksha Bandhan has its roots in Indian mythology.
