When is Raksha Bandhan 2023 | UK Gifts Portal

This year the celebration of Raksha Bandhan 2023 is on 30th of August 2023. The festival celebrates the bond & love between brothers and sisters. Sisters tie a Rakhi (Traditionally made it from Cotton Thread) around their brothers' wrists on this special occasion to protect them.

Rakhi is tied on the wrist of the brother as a gesture of affection to pray for his long life. In return, brothers give gifts to their sisters and promise to protect them at all costs. The Festival of Rakhsa Bandhan is celebrated every year on the full moon day in the month of Shravan of the Hindu calendar. Therefore it is also called Rakhi Purnima.

Story of Raksha Bandhan Festival :

The story of Raksha Bandhan is related to the Hindu epic Mahabharata. In Mahabharata, Once Lord Krishna cut his finger which then started bleeding. Seeing this Draupadi then tore a piece of cloth from her saree and tied it on his finger to stop the bleeding. The piece of cloth then became a sacred thread.

Considering the cloth that she tied a sacred thread, Krishna promised her that he will protect her from all evils throughout his life. The act of Draupadi tying a piece of cloth on Krishna's wounded finger is synonymous with Raksha Bandhan — a girl tying Rakhi on her brother's wrist and he, in turn, promising to protect her just as Krishna protected Draupadi.
