Celebrating the Bond of Love
Rakshabandhan, often referred to as Rakhi, is a beautiful festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. This festival is observed on the full moon day of the month of Shravana, usually in August. At Chanakya International School, we cherish this occasion as it symbolizes love, protection, and the unique relationship shared between siblings.
The Legend Behind Rakshabandhan
The origins of Rakshabandhan can be traced back to ancient mythology. One popular story is that of Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, who tied a rakhi on Lord Krishna’s wrist. In return, Krishna vowed to protect her honor during the Kurukshetra War. This tale highlights the significance of the protective bond that Rakshabandhan represents.
Traditions and Customs at Chanakya International School
On Rakshabandhan, sisters at Chanakya International School tie a sacred thread, known as a rakhi, around their brothers’ wrists. This act symbolizes their love and prayers for their brothers’ well-being. In return, brothers promise to protect their sisters and often give gifts as a token of their affection. The day is filled with joy, laughter, and the warmth of familial love.
