*”raksha bandhan” is a ‘hindu religious festival’*
.
(nepali: रक्ष्या बन्धन तथा जनैपूणिर्मा ; marathi: रक्षा बंधन ; hindi: रक्षा बन्धन), also called rakhi purnima or simply rakhi or “rakhri” in many parts of ‘india’ and ‘nepal’)
.
(the same festival is also celebrated as janai purnima (जनै पूर्णिमा) in hilly regions of ‘nepal’)
(in simple words, ‘raksha bandhan’ means “bond of protection”)
(the festival celebrates the ‘love’ and ‘duty’ between ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’)
(it is also popularly used to celebrate any (‘brother’ / ‘sister’) relationship between ‘men’ and ‘women’ who may or may not be ‘biologically related’)
(the ‘brahmins’ and ‘bahuns’ (aka ‘vedic brahmins’) of ‘nepal’ and ‘north india’ change their ‘janai’ in this occasion) .
(the festival is also observed by ‘jains’ as a ‘religious festival’ when ‘jain priests’ give ‘threads’ to ‘devotees’)
(the festival is also celebrated by many ‘communities’ as a ‘secular festival’)
(this ‘secular aspect’ is observed among ‘all people’ (irrespective of their ‘religion’) in ‘west bengal’ and ‘punjab’)
(various fairs are held in ‘punjab’ to mark the occasion)
(on ‘raksha bandhan’, sisters tie a rakhi (or ‘sacred thread’) on her brother’s wrist)
(this symbolizes the sister’s ‘love’ and ‘prayers’ for her brother’s ‘well-being’, and the brother’s lifelong vow to protect her)
(the festival falls on the ‘full moon day’ (or ‘shravan poornima’) of the ‘shravan month’ of the ‘hindu lunisolar nepali calendar’)
