Raksha bandhan 2025: Rakshabandhan is an important festival in Indian culture, symbol of unwavering love of siblings. It has been a tradition for centuries that the sisters tie a rakhi on the wrist of their brothers and wish for their long life and prosperity, and the brothers pledge to protect their sisters. What has been said about the festival of Rakshabandhan in the scriptures? Let us know that the sister can tie rakhi to whom other than brother.
God is considered the first right to tie rakhi. Many sisters first tie rakhi to Lord Krishna, Shiva or Ganesh and then to their brother. It is the expression of faith that God is the first protector.
