Long ago, during a moment of carelessness, Lord Krishna accidentally cut his finger on his mighty Sudarshan Chakra. Witnessing this, Princess Draupadi, moved by her deep affection for Krishna, immediately tore a piece of her sari and gently tied it around his wound. Touched by this selfless gesture, Krishna was overwhelmed with gratitude and made a vow to protect Draupadi at any cost.

Years later, when Draupadi found herself in a moment of great peril during the infamous cheer haran, where the Kauravas cruelly attempted to strip her of her dignity, Krishna fulfilled his vow. He miraculously ensured that her sari became endless, protecting her from harm and preserving her honor.

It is said that the tradition of tying a rakhi on a brother's wrist symbolizes this sacred bond between Draupadi and Krishna. Sisters, like Draupadi, tie a rakhi as a symbol of love and protection, and in return, brothers promise to stand by their sisters through thick and thin, guarding them against all odds.

The tale of love and protection that continues to inspire us every Raksha Bandhan.

All over the country, people, irrespective of their caste and religion, celebrate this auspicious day.

Happy Raksha Bandhan !!!
