Regarding the different legends behind Raksha Bandhan, there is another interesting story related to Alexander and Porus. Raksha Bandhan celebration is really an exciting time for all the loved ones especially brothers and sisters. Sisters and brothers enjoy the tie of love--it is, indeed, the eternal tie of love. They pray for each other’s well being and protection and even exchange interesting Rakhi gifts. For others like for Brahmins, it is the day to vow to adhere to the ‘Brahmanik’ rites and rituals. And for fishermen, Shravan significance marks the beginning of a new season.
