💮All about Raksha🌼Bandhan festive!!💮

Hi everyone !! Today I am sharing my experience of rakshabandhan festival celebrated mostly in India. There might be some people out of India who might be Indian and have been living out of India. And I am not discriminating or against anything. I am sharing this is for sheer knowledge and awareness. To share experiences and to educate. For knowledge and experience to the international community of my followers and all those might not know basically about the Indian culture.

Let's get started 😊

What is the festive about ?

It is a festivity of celebrating the bond of a brother and sister. It is celebrated to embrace the relationship between a brother and sister. The Indian culture has been diverse since ages and so the celebration is different in different places. I as a marashtrian have been following this same ritual of celebrating this joyous occasion called rakshabandhan.

Why it is celebrated ?

It is celebrated to make their sisters feel assured that their brothers are right there. And always be there to protect and support them in all ups and downs of their lives.

How it is celebrated?

In my case, we celebrate it on the day, in the specified time called 'Shubh Muhurat' that is good time it is sometimes for 8 hours or at times for 6 hours depending on the muhurat mentioned in the Marathi calendar. According to marathi season and calendar we make plate like we do for aarti or puja. Aarti thal is set by lifting a diya and some kumkum and some rice for tika. Also a sweet to make each others mouths sweets. Sisters taking the plate make wishes for the good life and prosperity of brother to God by rotating the aarti thal for 5 times. Then taking some Kumkum (it is used for spiritual worshipping and to start new things). And then showering few raw rice it is also said to be good like kumkum. Also, some people stick rice on the tika. And myths says, if more rice is stuck on the forehead then they love you a lot. Well, I don't believe in such myth. Then the rakhi a is tied on the wrist of their Brothers. Then sisters touch the feet for giving respect and taking blessings from the brothers. And then by all the elders. Brothers do give gifts. It is said that on rakshabandhan brothers give gifts and until you are small you just do the ritual.

  It is a festive to make the bond strong and special. Also cherish some happy, good moments, eat and freeze some wonderful moments by clicking some pictures.
