Raksha Bandhan also known as Rakhi is a popular festival celebrated in Northern India. Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival which often comes in midst of August. The auspicious occasion is celebrated by a sister tying a good luck thread called “Rakhi” on the right wrist of her brother. The tying of Rakhi ensures the sister that her brother would always protect her from all evils. The brothers and sisters then offer sweets along with the good wishes, to each other. The day not only ensures endless attachment between them but also strengthens the love between them.

Raksha Bandhan is not only important to the human beings but it is to the Bollywood also and this can be easily seen from the fact that over the years Bollywood has produced several songs on Raksha Bandhan. A song from the movie Chhoti Behan titled “Bhaiya Mere Raakhi ke bandhan ko nibhana” is still remembered by most of the people. Even this is not all; the bond of brother and sister has always been the subject of the stories depicted in the Bollywood movies. Bollywood has gifted us with so many songs on Raksha Bandhan that its significance can be easily understood from this fact.
