The Rakhsha Bandhan Festival is an Indian event that Hindu families mainly observe. It represents the close tie that exists between Brothers and Sisters. Public celebrations, such as fairs and community activities, are held in addition to private celebrations in homes. A week before the Festival, the Sisters start preparing for the events. They congregate in bazaars to shop for opulent and exquisite Rakhis. Many females choose to construct their own Rakhis. The Brothers also prepare for the event by purchasing sweets, chocolates, and other presents for their Sisters.

The rite deepens the two people's bond of love and friendship. The Hindu Festival of 'Raksha Bandhan' is well-known. It is also known as the 'Rakhi' Festival. According to the Hindu calendar, it occurs on Purnima, or the full moon day, in the month of Shravan. It is a national holiday in India. The words 'Raksha' and 'Bandhan' both signify 'protection' and 'binding.' As a result, 'Raksha Bandhan' literally means 'Bond of Protection.' Sisters tie a special band on their Brothers' wrists as a sign of affection on this day. The 'Rakhi' is the name given to this thread. The Brothers swear to defend their Sisters for the rest of their lives in exchange. Brothers and Sisters reinforce their spiritual links of affection on Raksha Bandhan. Raksha Bandhan is comprised of two words that are, Raksha (which means protection) and Bandhan (means tying), which means tying a protective knot. Because it happens on a full moon day, Raksha Bandhan is also known as 'Rakhi Purnima.' Rakhi happens on "Shravan Purnima" in the Hindu calendar; in the English calendar, the month of Sawan is the seventh or eighth month of the year.

Poush Sankranti, the last day of the Bengali month Poush, is also known as Makar Sankranti and marks the day for a harvest festival in Bengal. The freshly harvested paddy and the date palm syrup in the form of Khejurer Gur and Patali is used in the preparation of a variety of traditional Bengali sweets made with rice flour, coconut, milk and 'khejurer gur' (date palm jaggery) and known as 'Pitha'.

During this event, his Sister lights a lamp for him, feeds him sweets, and puts a 'Tilak' on his forehead before tying a Rakhi around his wrist. This overall process is performed during the auspicious muhurta of Rakhi tying. Before tying Rakhi, Sisters traditionally fast. The Festival of Raksha Bandhan symbolizes the ideal of universal Brotherhood and also immortalizes the Indian culture. This Festival of Rakhi transcends the barriers of caste, creed and religion and is based on pious sentiments
