| Raksha Bandhan is a holiday celebrated by Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs. While others call it Raksha Bandhan, it is also known as Raksha Purnima and Rakhi, (or Rakhri for Sikhs). For the sisters it was symbolic of their love and prayers for the brother's wellbeing, while for the brother, it was a promise to protect her in return for as long as they lived. |

| Even today, Rakhi is celebrated with the sister tying a thread around the brother's wrist. The threads now are decorative and come in all shapes and designs. The brother in return, gives the sister money or a gift. Based on the religion, there may be a religious aspect to the ceremony itself where a pooja or aarti may be performed. |
