Raksha Bandhan is a cherished festival in the Hindu calendar, celebrating the sacred bond between brothers and sisters. In 2025, it is being celebrated on August 9 (Saturday). Celebrated with great warmth and joy across India, it symbolises mutual love, respect, and the promise of protection between siblings. Traditionally observed as an annual Hindu ritual, it holds a central place in the festival of the same name, marked by heartfelt traditions and family gatherings. While deeply rooted in South Asian culture, Raksha Bandhan is also embraced in many parts of the world influenced by Hindu heritage, carrying its timeless message of affection and unity wherever it is celebrated.
