Raksha Bandhan 2023: List Of Quotes To Spread The Festival Cheer

Raksha Bandhan, the joyous festival that celebrates the sacred bond between siblings, is here again to bring families together in an atmosphere of love, nostalgia and cherished memories. This heartwarming occasion falls on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravana and is a time-honoured tradition that transcends age, distance and differences. At the heart of Raksha Bandhan lies the Rakhi. Though a delicate thread, it symbolises the unbreakable bond between a brother and a sister.

Sisters tie this colourful thread around their brothers' wrists, expressing their love, prayers, and hopes for their well-being. In return, brothers pledge to protect and stand by their sisters, offering them gifts and promises of support.
