Vriksh Raksha Bandhan

Rakshabandhan is a unique and sacred festival. The people of all religions celebrate it with enthusiasm and love. This festival shows the strength, love, and purity of the brother-sister relationship. This festival is made up of two words, namely “Raksha '' and “Bandhan”. As per the Sanskrit terminology, the occasion means “the tie or knot of protection” where “Raksha'' stands for protection and “Bandhan'' signifies the verb to tie. This festival is celebrated every year in July or August. All sisters tie a rakhi (sacred thread) to their brother and feed them sweets, chocolate, etc. and pray for their long life. The festival is observed as a duty between brothers and sisters. In the modern era, Rakhi is tied to trees for the protection of nature. The trees protect us from all the natural calamities and give us useful things like wood, paper, medicines, food etc. The most important thing that they give us is life-supporting gas i.e. oxygen free of cost. The interactors celebrated “ Vriksh Raksha Bandhan “ by tying rakhi to the plants and trees at home to celebrate this festival.
