The special occasion of Rakhi holds much importance in Hindu
families as extracted from various mythological stories. This ceremony of tying
the knot was started during the reign of Mughal emperors. Famous king Porus
Stopped himself from attacking Alexander the great when he saw the knot tied on
his wrist by the latter’s wife. This and alloy of other examples shows that
this festival really means the vow taken by the brothers. When Draupadi tied a
torn piece of her sari on the wrist of Lord Krishna to stop the flowing blood,
he took the oath to protect her from evils. And so he saved her modesty during
her Vastra Haran.
This festival is not only a brother-sister festival rather a
family festival too. In various families sisters ties loomba to the bangles of
their Bhabhi which in return gave then Rakhi gifts. In 1905 after the partition
of Bengal Rabindranath Tagore called for all Hindus and Muslims to tie the
knot. This promotes the fraternity, peace and togetherness. But long before the
attempt of Rabidranath Tagore, it was initiated by Queen Karmawati. She tied
the knot on the wrist of Humayun to save her from Bahadur shah. Being a Muslim,
Humayun should have denied this but instead he kept his promise.
Having preserved its sanctity from time immemorial this
festival has become very famous in overseas. The heavy influx of Indians in
abroad has deeply increased its importance among Foreigners. Despite this we
Indians tend to worry more about our loved ones. But not now as we have a
number of sites available to ask for best rakhi gifts. So those who live
anywhere in abroad can go through the sites and can send rakhi to India. These
sites are stuffed with thousands of varieties to choose from and that also in
both traditional and trendy types. Select your desired budget and you are all
set to surprise your siblings.
Every year people living in UK celebrate this festival with
much enthusiasm but deep down they miss their families. The reason of more and
more migration of Indians for UK is basically its Educational status. Being the
leader in this field it has attracted students worldwide. Therefore many
siblings send rakhi to UK for their beloved ones. Talk about the UK and the
first name that hits the mind is London. Being the part of Uk and prime
destination for Studies it has lured students from around the corner. World’s
top most Universities have acquired their position in UK with around one fourth
population of Indians. So in festivals like this people send rakhi to London to
share the celebration with them.On this very special day of rakhi make sure you
do everything to make your sibling happy.
