History

Raksha Bandhan, which means “safety” and “bond” in literal translation, honours the special relationship between siblings. Hindu mythology states that during the time of Mahabharat, Lord Krishna inadvertently cut his finger while using the Sudarshan chakra. Draupadi covered the wound with a piece of cloth. Lord Krishna was touched by her deed and responded by promising to keep her safe from any harm. During the Chirharan incident, when the Kauravas tried to shame and dishonour Draupadi, Lord Krishna appeared and protected her from humiliation when no one else could.
