    The festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on full moon day(Purnima) of Shravan Masa.
    Celebration of the relationship between brothers and sisters.On Raksha Bandhan, a sister ties a rakhi (sacred thread) on her brother's wrist with a prayer for his prosperity and happiness. This symbolizes the sister's love. The brother gives her a token gift and a promise to protect her.
    Raksha Bandhan in Sanskrit literally means "the tie or knot of protection"The word Raksha means protection, while Bandhan is the verb to tie. It is an ancient Hindu festival that ritually celebrates the love and duty between brothers and their sisters.The sister performs a rakhi ceremony, then prays to express her love and her wish for the well being of her brother; in return, the brother ritually pledges to protect and take care of his sister under all circumstances. It is one of the several occasions in which family ties are affirmed in India

    actually am the elder one so i wont take any gift from my brothers.....:)
    even i dont know..exact meaning of that may be this...a thing serving as a visible or tangible representation of a fact, quality, feeling, etc.
    generally sister ties a rakhi to his brothers wrist....(way of tying is different i will try to send video as soon as possible) then brother presents a gift to her sister..
