Raksha Bandhan (ruk-SHA-bun-dhun), or Rakhi, is a holiday which celebrates sibling bonds. Sisters tie a decorative, sacred thread on the right wrist of their brothers, cousins, and other close male friends, followed by prayers for their protection and well-being while sweets are exchanged. In return, brothers give their sisters small tokens or gifts of appreciation. Today, Raksha Bandhan has evolved into a holiday empowering significant relationships between cousins, same-sex siblings, and friends.
