Raakhi/Rakhi/RakshaBandhan/Rakhee is a festival that celebrates brother-sister bond. Traditionally, on this day, sisters tie a raakhi protective consecrated thread–on their brothers’ wrist and wish them happiness. Brothers also promise to protect their sisters and gift tokens of love. In the modern world, this festival is celebrated by all siblings and cousins expressing their love and affection for each other. It is also tied to those who ensure safety in the society, like police officers and fire fighters.
