Raksha Bandhan 2022: Rakhi represents the bond between a brother and a sister. According to traditional beliefs, it strengthens and protects siblings by warding off threats. As a result, it is critical to tie Rakhi at an auspicious time.
Rakhi is just around the corner; this day honours the pious bond between a brother and a sister. Raksha denotes safety, while Bandhan denotes a bond. This festival is held during the full moon or Purnima day of the Shravan or Sawan month. On this auspicious day, the sister applies tilak to the forehead of the brother, ties a sacred thread around their wrist, and prays for their long and healthy life. In exchange, the brother gives gifts and promises to protect their sisters for the rest of their lives.

History of Raksha Bandhan 2022
According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna cut his finger on his Sudarshan chakra by accident during the time of Mahabharat. Princess Draupadi tore a piece of cloth from her saree and wrapped it around his body to stop the flow of blood. Lord Krishna was overwhelmed by this kind gesture and regarded it as a sacred thread.
He vowed that day to protect Draupadi at all costs.
In Mahabharat, when the Kauravas tried to shame and belittle her while remembering his vow, Lord Krishna appeared and protected her from embarrassment and humiliation while no one else could.
The Importance of Raksha Bandhan 2022

This is more upbeat and lighthearted, with witty banter between siblings, friends, and families. Rakhi tying is no longer limited to brother-sister relationships. Raksha Bandhan is celebrated by tying rakhi to elder sisters, friends, and distant relatives who feel safe and protected. Raksha Bandhan has always been associated with a sense of security.
