How Raksha Bandhan is celebrated?
Rakhi essentially celebrates the bond between brothers and sister. Indeed the word Raksha Bandhan signifies the bond of protection. There's a fully fledged ceremony on the day in the presence of all the members of the family. Everyone dresses to look the best and then it all begins.
Sisters prepare the Rakhi Puja thali beautifully and put sweets, Roli Chawal, Rakhi and Diya inside the thali. The put on Tika on their brothers' forehead, tie Rakhi on their brothers' wrist, feed them with sweets and then perform the Aarti ritual. Brothers' in return present wonderful gifts along with a promise to protect their sisters in every circumstance.
The most suitable time for carrying out the Rakhi tying ritual is during afternoon (as per the Hindu division of the day), or Aparahna. In case of the unavailability of the Aparahna time, it may also be performed during Pradosh time.
