The festival of Rakshabandhan
celebrates the eternal bond of brother and sister. It is a festival during
which sisters offer their prayers for the wellbeing and longevity of their
husband. The festival has long been celebrated in the historic times too. If
you peep deeper in to the history you will find out that there are several
instances which talks about the sibling bond quite strongly.
We all might have read Mahabharata,
in the epic novel there is an instance where Lord Krishna was wounded while
fighting Shishupal. Seeing the sight, Draupadi immediately tore off a piece of
her saree and draped Lord Krishna’s finger with it. Lord Krishna was so moved
that he immediately decided that he will protect Draupadi whenever situation
calls for it. Years later when Pandavas lost their battle against Kauravas and
decided to undrape Draupadi, her saree was grown infinitely long by Lord
Krishna with his special powers.
When Rajputs were fighting against
Bahadur Shah, the then queen Karnavati had sent rakhi to Emperor Humayun, to
protect her. Humayun’s heart melted and he left for Chittor to protect the
queen Karnavati, which he eventually did.
One could witness the pompous
celebration of Rakshabandhan in Northern India. With people migrating from one
place to the other, you can send rakhi to Mumbai or any other destination in Central India too. The thread of
Rakshabandhan is considered to be quite sacred and this is what that makes the
festival stronger and memorable. With the advancement in the technology, people
can now send rakhis with the help of several online portal. You can get online rakhi delivery in Delhi to any
destination of your choice.
