75+ Raksha Bandhan messages, wishes and quotes

Raksha Bandhan is an annual Hindu celebration of sibling relationships, observed on a full moon in the month of Shravana (July or August). Sisters tie a rakhi, or bracelet/thread, to their brothers (or other close relatives) to symbolize protection and support. In return, brothers offer gifts and acknowledge the bond of protection.

The festival has evolved from a simple gesture of care to a declaration of a strong bond between siblings, friends, and sometimes even relatives. The ritual typically takes place in the morning, with sisters performing a puja (prayer) by applying kumkum to their brothers' foreheads, an aarti (ritual of offering light), and tying the rakhi.

The meal that follows often includes traditional Indian dishes. In Dubai, the celebration can be experienced at various restaurants, such as Rohini Settle in JLT and Hyatt Place Dubai Jumeirah.
