Raksha Bandhan Utsav

A full month before Raksha Bandhan Festival, ariot of rakhadis overwhelm shop counters and displays throught India. Sisters enthusiastically shop, purchasing rakhadis that range from a few Rupees to more than Rs. 5000. On the day of Raksha Bandhan, the sister ties the rakhadi on her brother's wrist symbolising protection from evil influence and strengtheny of sibling love between them. In return the brother offer gifts or devotions and promises to protect her too. On this day, at the Shree Swaminarayan mandirs, the Lord is placed on a swing decorated with rakhadis. The sanctified rakhadis are then tied on devotees by sadhus.
