Why it is called Raksha Bandhan?

Raksha Bandhan has gotten its name because of the Sanskrit meaning which means “to tie the knot of protection.” This is exactly what people do during this event. Those who consider themselves to have a brother-sister relationship will take part in this event.

The sister will tie the string on the wrist of the brother while stating her blessings and her wish for protection so that the brother will become stronger and more prosperous. In return, brothers usually give their sisters gifts. There are some who search online for ideal gifts that they can give to their sisters. Take note that this celebration is not only for those who are blood-related.
