Happy Rakhi 2025

Raksha Bandhan, a festival steeped in history, finds its roots in timeless tales of love and protection. The Mahabharata recounts how Draupadi tore a strip of her sari to bind Krishna’s bleeding wrist, and in return, he vowed to protect her forever. Centuries later, history tells of Queen Karnavati of Mewar sending a Rakhi to Mughal Emperor Humayun, seeking his help in defending her kingdom. These stories, etched in the cultural memory of India, gave rise to a tradition where a simple thread became a powerful symbol of trust and commitment.

In 2025, that ancient sentiment still thrives—only now, it blends effortlessly with modern flair. Across the nation, sisters are tying Rakhis adorned with beads, zari works and even eco-friendly materials, while brothers exchanging respects with gifts, heartfelt promises and a renewed sense of connection.

The homes are filled with joy, the clinking of sweet boxes and stories of childhood mischief. Social medias are depicting sibling selfies, witty hashtags, and touching tributes, proving that even in an age of instant messages and virtual calls, some bonds remain beautifully, stubbornly timeless.
