Hi Tulip,
Raksha Bandhan is a lovely annual celebration of the bond of love and protection between a brother and his sister. It originates from the tale of Indrani tying a sacred thread around her husband's wrist to protect him in battle against demons. Whilst these days the emphasis is on syblings celebrating the strength of their relationship, it's also possible for a rakhee (the band) to be sent to those whom you respect. The sister always ties the band on the brother, whilst a brother will offer his sister a present.
