Everyone knows Raksha Bandhan is also called Rakhi Purnima or simply Rakhi or "Rakhri", in many parts of India. The festival celebrates the love and duty between brothers and sisters.

On Raksha Bandhan, sisters tie a rakhi (sacred thread) on her brother's wrist. This symbolizes the sister's love and prayers for her brother's well-being, and the brother's lifelong vow to protect her.

Raksha Bandhan prayer 

May the lord of all beings protect you,

May the one who creates, preserves and dissolves life protect thee,

May Govinda guard thy head; Kesava, thy neck; Vishnu, thy belly;

the eternal Narayana, thy face, thine arms, thy mind, and faculties of sense;

May all negativity and fears, spirits malignant and unfriendly, flee thee;

May Rishikesa keep you safe in the sky; and Mahidhara, upon earth.

Wishing you all a very Happy Raksha Bandhan to you and your family.
