This year Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on August 15, 2019. The festival aims at a beautiful bond between brothers and sisters. Rakhi or Rakhibandhan is celebrated on the full moon day and therefore the festival is called Rakhi Poornima.
On this day, a sister ties a rakhi or sacred thread around the wrist of their brother. The festival is observed as a symbol of duty and bonding between brothers and sisters.
During the rituals, sisters pray for the long life of their brothers. Sisters tie a rakhi or the sacred thread on the right wrist of their brother, apply tilak, offer sweets and perform aarti.
