Rakshabandhan 2025: A Timeless Celebration of Bond & Style with SALTY Accessories & Gift Boxes

Rakshabandhan, a celebration wrapped in love, tradition, and promises, is one of the most cherished festivals in India. It transcends regional and cultural boundaries, bringing together siblings in a bond of affection and commitment. But have you ever wondered how this beautiful festival came to be?

The History and Significance of Rakshabandhan

The word Rakshabandhan literally means "the bond of protection." Its roots trace back to ancient times, with legends woven through the rich tapestry of Indian mythology and history.

One of the earliest stories is from the Mahabharata, where Draupadi tied a strip of her sari around Lord Krishna’s wrist when he injured his finger. Touched by her gesture, Krishna vowed to protect her always. Another historical account speaks of Rani Karnavati of Mewar, who sent a rakhi to the Mughal Emperor Humayun, seeking his help against invasion a powerful symbol of trust that transcended religion and politics.

At its core, Rakshabandhan celebrates the unbreakable bond between siblings. A sister ties a rakhi a sacred thread around her brother’s wrist, symbolizing her prayers for his well-being. In return, the brother pledges to protect her through thick and thin, and gifts her tokens of appreciation and love.

When is Rakhi in 2025?

This year, Rakshabandhan falls on Saturday, August 9, 2025. It’s a perfect weekend occasion to slow down, spend quality time with family, and celebrate this age-old tradition with a modern twist.
