India is a land of diversity in which different festivals are celebrated in different parts of the country. Raksha Bandhan is mainly celebrated in the Northern part of the country by the two religious communities of the Hindus and the Sikhs. However, the festival is celebrated with gusto in all other parts of the country too, and Online Rakhi to India services offered by online portals unite the country irrespective of region.
Festivals are an important part of any culture since they directly reflect the values and beliefs that are considered important in any culture. One can learn a great deal about any culture and country by learning about the festivals that are celebrated in that culture or country. India is a diverse country in which several cultures flourish together. Unity in diversity is one of the special features that India is famous for. The festivals that are celebrated in the country are a direct reflection of this feature as well. The festivals that are popular in the northern part of the country are not celebrated in the southern, western or eastern part of the country and vice versa. Though this is not the case with two of the most popular festivals of Diwali and Holi, it also does apply in the case of Raksha Bandhan which is celebrated mainly in Northern India by the Hindus and the Sikhs; but sees celebrations even in the east and south regions of India.

Raksha Bandhan is believed to be on August 13 this year which will be the date of the full moon in the month of Shravan (also known as Saawan i.e. monsoon). As mentioned above, the festival is celebrated in the Northern part of India mainly, though given the number of Indians abroad these days it is celebrated wherever a North Indian family lives. The festival has also spread wings in the other parts of the country.

In this case, specifically, brothers are upheld as the protectors of their sisters and the word Raksha Bandhan literally means “the bond of protection”. In the modern world today with the emancipation of women a different gender dynamic prevails in the middle and upper classes of society at least where the festival is mainly celebrated as a celebration of the emotional bond between a brother and a sister. If you’re a sister settled outside the country, you can celebrate the boond by sending a rakhi to India on the occasion of Rakhi 2011. When a girl makes a boy a muh-bola bhai (brother), there is an element of permanence that the relationship achieves since family relationships are considered far more solid and long-lasting than relationships with friends especially in Indian culture.

These days, web portals offering services to send rakhi online allows one to quickly and conveniently send rakhi anywhere in India, thus bridging distances and communities. We wish all a very Happy Raksha Bandhan on 13th August 2011.
