Raksha Bandhan, Rakhi, Rakhi Purnima or the famously known sibling festival — we may know it by any name, but this festival holds a special place in our hearts. What starts in our childhood as a festival of gifts and rakhis gradually occupies a place in our heart as a symbol of the various forms of sibling-like bonds we share and gives us the opportunity to celebrate each one of them. Like any other festival, celebrating rakhi with family is definitely a pleasant time. Even if you are away, thanks to online portals, sending rakhi and cards with enchanting Raksha Bandhan messages is relatively smooth.
What Is Raksha Bandhan, And Why Do We Celebrate Rakhi?

Raksha Bandhan comes from the Sanskrit works Raksha and Bandhan, which literally translates to ‘the bond of protection.’ It is traditionally celebrated with many rituals, including the sister tying the sacred thread known as ‘rakhi’ on her brothers’ wrist while they promise to protect her all their life. While modern forms of Raksha Bandhan have changed to include a variety of bonds, the core is just the same – celebrating the safe space that a sibling relationship brings to our lives. So here are some beautiful messages and ads to celebrate your sibling bond in the best way possible!

10. Ferns And Petals’ Be United By Love
Who celebrates Raksha Bandhan? Hindus? Muslims? Catholics? No. Siblings celebrate Raksha Bandhan, and the boundaries of religion can never encompass the sheer joy that comes from celebrating this festival. Touching upon this very concept, here is an ad that allows us to see the world from a little Children’s perspective that does not involve the complexities of religion or the discrimination of the adult world. Simply understanding that the Rakhi symbolizes protection and treating it as devoid of its religious meaning for those who are comfortable with the idea can allow us to truly redefine this festival as what it really is—a day to celebrate siblings.
Celebrate Raksha Bandhan With Love!
Those were some Raksha Bandhan messages and touching ads that remind us what Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan stands for. It is the time that we define our festivals for us in our own ways and celebrates them in the way that brings the most meaning to us. Raksha Bandhan is a festival of siblings, and this Rakhi, whatever you do, make sure you celebrate the person or people who offer you the safe space to be truly yourself – your siblings.
For some people, especially those with difficult sibling relationships, Rakhi can also be a difficult time. To anyone out there who resonates with this feeling, know that you’re not alone, and it’s okay if you take the time to give yourself a break and allow yourself to heal. For those who are lucky enough to have your sibling or sibling-like people with or around you, try to ensure you make the most of this time, and enjoy it! Happy Rakhi ☺
