Raksha Bandhan also known as Rakhi is an ancient festival that revives the bond between sisters and brothers. Even in 2024, this favorite festival bureau carries a monumental value on Inner pipes of each single Native american aborigines home as any item which represents love,outcome and meamily duties.
In addition to the depth of its cultural significance, Raksha Bandhan has developed a more universal connotation for sibling support and bonding that captures compassion in today’s hectic life.
In ancient Indian texts and stories, we find the roots of Indian festival Raksha Bandhan. The Egyptian festival dates back thousands of years and many have helped it to become what we know today.
A Raksha Bandhan narrative that has supposedly survived through the ages is that of Queen Karnavati who ruled over Chittor, it was she who sent a rakhi to Emperor Humayun requesting his intervention during an invasion. This story is the true epitome of what this sacred knot signifies, a bond full of promise to protect honour and dignity that transcends religion.
Traditionally, Raksha Bandhan is celebrated by performing some lovely ceremonies. On Rakhi sisters prepare a pooja thali which includes Diya, Roli Chawal and rakhis. Here, they knot the Rakhi on their brothers’ wrists along with blessings for good health and fortune. In return, brothers dedicate themselves to the safety and sometimes gift presents as a token of gratitude for their sisters.
They helped me with the traditions and protocols so that I could demonstrate to each of my relatives how much they all mean to me. Over time, our family has learned that these events unify us in both ceremony and spirit as we remind ourselves about what binds us togetherOSU professor Jon Cox describes it well on p48.dylandynasties.pdf: “1…
Nonetheless, in the recent era, Raksha Bandhan has evolved to quite an extent also including siblings who are geographically distant. Fortunately, virtual sentiments can come in many forms thanks to tech. With video calls or online gifts, Raksha Bandhan wishes could now be sent to Mumbai within no time and vice versa spreading love this Festival of Rakhi across the miles.
Relevance of Raksha Bandhan in Contemporary Times
Despite declaring themselves as the new face of Bharat, this is an old memory worth cherishing whereby Raksha Bandhan originally celebrated the bond between brother’s sisters lives on in today.
Now, in modern lives, Raksha bandhan has mixed well with a fast paced life but still continuing its bare roots of protection, love and together ness. While the festival only perpetuates these fundamentals, it is a potent reminder of our dedication to cherishing sisters and brothers.
With modernization and technology everything has changed over the time in such way that not it only becomes easy but also makes Raksha Bandhan a different celebration. Technology has helped to close the gap as families are spread out all across various cities and sometimes even countries.
This has become a daily thing to do now across continents as it connects people with their family worldwide on video calls, use social media platforms in the way that ensured encompassing all those live feeds & highlights and exchanging gifts over digital screens. This acts as a virtual process, through which siblings can perform the rituals and exhibit love even from distance thereby immortalizing the essence of Raksha Bandhan among them in words and photographs.
With the advent of social media, Raksha Bandhan has become a celebration but also there was sharing about personal experiences or memories associated with it on different platforms.
These social media toasts, from friends and extended family alike, have turned the celebration itself into a remote communal event—an unprecedented opportunity for personal connections without in-person interaction—from posting childhood flashbacks to heartfelt stories. This continued online engagement confirms the importance of the festival and maintains its cultural traditions with younger audiences.
Also, Raksha Bandhan sentiment has become more of a relative term. That is not limited to just blood relations and extends even within other vital relationships that enshrine the essence of Diwali.
This way friends, cousins and even some global communities hop in exchanging ‘Rakhis’ followed yet again by commitment of supporting and protection from their side extending the festival to whole new avenues making it more inclusive.
It is like the Raksha Bandhan and its fundamental ethos, that has not changed despite time making changes all around it to incorporate modern values while keeping pace with technology. Such advancement confirms that the core of what Deepavali is all about — celebration of love, preservation and family ties should be kept profound as well.
Raksha Bandhan is a festival which reflects the endless love between siblings and it has seen such an exciting change in Rakhi designs over all these years. A translation of the evolution or rather transformation from those very threads to something that is both rich in tradition as much and evolved into a modernistic affair, indicating at change for sure but yet holding on so tightly.
