The month of Shravan comes to an end, and the month of Bhadrapada begins with Raksha Bandhan. In Hinduism, Raksha Bandhan is regarded as a significant holiday. The love, affection, and trust between siblings are symbolised by this holiday.

Significance of Raksha Bandhan
In Hinduism, Raksha Bandhan is a significant holiday. Every year, on the day of the full moon in the month of Shravan, it is celebrated with considerable fanfare. This celebration represents the warmth, trust, and love that siblings have with one another.
In this, sisters adorn their brothers' wrists with a Rakhi. Religious beliefs state that Rakhi was first bound to King Bali and made her brother by Goddess Lakshmi. In addition, the celebration of Raksha Bandhan has been observed since Lord Krishna tied Draupadi a Rakhi.
