"Rakshabandhan" or "Rakhi-Purnima" is a widely celebrated occasion in Eastern and Northern part of India. It is a festival to celebrate love and loyalty for the siblings. Ideally, on this day, the girl ties a string of colorful thread around the wrist of her brother, who in turn, takes a vow to protect her from all the evil forces in life. This vow signifies the name of the ritual, as "Raksha" stands for Protection and "Bandhan" for tying-up. In addition, the brother and sister duo present some gifts to each other.
