August 2014: Holiness At Its Best!
Each moment is special, and holds some speciality in it. Wonder, how special will all the moments of August be. Here, we have not missed even a single important detail about the month of August. Let’s expose this holy month together!
August is very special for Hindus, as it is full of many major festivals. Raksha Bandhan is one of them.
Raksha Bandhan: The Special Thread That Speaks Protection!
Rakshabandhan is on August 10, 2014. This is a special day in Hindu tradition that defines the relation between a brother and sister with grace. If we go deep into the customary traditions of the day, a sister ties ‘Rakhi’ or ‘Resham Ki Dori’ on a brother’s wrist; in response, a brother promises to protect his sister in any kind of adverse situations. The festival of Rakhi has many mythological associations, although the essence of this day has barely changed all these years.
