This year, Raksha Bandhan is being celebrated over two days: August 30 and 31. It is marked on the full moon day; called Purnima during the Shravan or Sawan month. Raksha Bandhan commemorates the special bond between siblings. On this day, sisters tie rakhis to their brother's wrists and pray for their long lives. Brothers promise to protect their sisters and shower them with gifts. However, in modern times, sisters also tie rakhis on each other's hands. To mark the celebration, brothers and sisters get ready in their traditional best, apply mehendi, and relish a delicious feast. While you must have already picked your favourite ensembles, mehendi designs can often leave you confused. We have curated a list of trendy mehendi designs, which only complement your ethnic outings.
