Also known as Rakhi Purnima, Raksha Bandhan falls in the Holy month of Shravan. The festival to celebrate the bond between a brother and sister is just around the corner. Raksha Bandhan 2020 will be celebrated on August 3.
In Indian history, Rakhis have been used to strengthen kingdoms and forge alliances. One of the oldest tales associated with Rakhis is when Alexander the Great was undertaking his invasion of the India subcontinent in 326 BC. Encountering the powerful King Porus, it is said that Alexander’s wife had approached Porus and tied a Rakhi on his hand to ensure the safety of her husband.
This festival of Raksha Bandhan is special for every sister and brother. Sisters buy colorful and attractive Rakhi for the brothers. This day symbolizes the unbreakable relationship between brothers and sisters. So it should be celebrated in all the positive spirits according to the Muhurat timings.

- As much as you get on my nerves, it’s hard to believe how much I love having you as a brother, because of all the other positive things you bring to my life. Now just imagine how much more I’d love you if you weren’t so bloody annoying, but where’s the fun in that.
- As much as women say they always prefer to have a little sister, we all know how annoying girls can be, which is why it’s great having a little brother like you by my side who I can count on for anything.
- Having a little brother like you, to confide in, to lean on, and to steal clothes from, only scratches the surface of how much you mean to me.
- You’re the best sibling I could’ve asked for, whether you’re sticking up for me with outsiders or helping me keep our Parents in check, it’s a blessing to have you by my side as my little soldier.
- I hope you’ve learned half as much from me, as I have learned from you, you’re mature beyond your years, and I have no doubt you will always help me learn to deal with things as we continue to get older and face “Life’s” inevitable complexities.
- Every time I think you can’t get any dumber, you do something to totally redeem yourself, which is why you’re truly an enigmatic personality and loving figure I can’t imagine living without.
- Remember that time when you were younger, and our cousins and I dressed you up as a girl? Because I do! Its things like that about what makes you truly irreplaceable, your innate ability to do whatever it takes to make the people you love to laugh, even though you make an ugly Indian bride.
- As fortunate as I am to have loving Parents we can always count on, you’ve always found a way to establish yourself as someone I can always go to first when I need of guidance or just someone to vent to you. Thank you for always being there!
- Having a little brother like you has been a remarkable experience, you’re the only person who can do something that makes me laugh, cry, and love you simultaneously. I’m just glad you’re on our side.
- Even though we fight like cats and dogs, I’ve never once felt I couldn’t count on you, which makes you the most lovable and irritating person I’ve ever met.
