This festival is celebrated in month of Shrawan as per to Hindu calendar that falls on August- September month of English calendar, which is known as holy month of Hindu religion and said to be as month of lord Shiva. And geographically on Indian subcontinent it is period of rain at its peak.

The connection between brothers and sisters is the powerful connection ever and the sanctity of the relation only solidifies this bond further. The festival of Raksha Bandhan is whole about celebrating this connection. It's also called as Rakhi, this festivity of the connection between siblings is celebrated across the nation. The central ceremony of Rakhi is totally related about sisters tying a sacred thread called as Rakhi around their brother’s wrists.
History behind Rakshabandhan:-
Most of the Indian functions have a scientific cause or logic for being that way. We are totally familiar about the mythical and historical stories associated to the beginning of Rakhi, vary from Draupadi and Krishna to Rani Karnavati to Humayun. So, here we will focus on Rakhis, the most necessary item for this festival, and its evolution. Traditionally, the colour of the Rakhi was red and even today, it is the most common colour when it comes to Rakhis. The red coloured Rakhi tied on the right wrist of the brother is represent the fire element. And according the Hindu belief, red stands for purity and a sister ties a red thread to make sure that there is strength, security, power and protection in the relation.
The all logic behind the festival is that the sisters pray for the protection and success of their brothers, while the brothers promise to defense and always stand for their sisters. With time, the design of the Rakhis has also undergone different changes and now they come in many patterns; few of them also come with miniatures of Gods and Goddesses. Therefore, we went ahead and did a small study, that category of shocked us.
Why Rakhi is tied on right hand?
In Indian culture Right hand wrist is called to be purest, in our religion each holy work is done by right hand and that's why Rakhi is tied on right hand but second question is that- why on wrist? So, Our wrist and hands are having different points running to many body organs. Tighten a thread on wrist could be seen in two ways it compresses nerves of body as to maintaining flow of blood in excess blood pressure position, as we have gone through it earlier that on a complete/ full moon day every fluid of body gets excited. Large amount of flow of blood through wrists can be reason of veins vascular disease and therefore nerves should be kept in tight situation.
Science behind Tilak:
Tilak is applied on the forehead between the eyebrows where the ajna chakra is located. As ajna means to 'perceive' or 'command', the ajna chakra is said to be the eye of intuition, through which a person can discern data that can not otherwise be seen with one's physical eyes.
Medical science is based with our brain up to few extent. The part of forehead where tilak is placed is Pineal gland; it is also called as third that joins the physical and spiritual science in a contact and also this gland requires energy and calmness to mind on similar level. Tilak placed on it is made of sandal wood and turmeric and red coloured substance, which brings pineal gland to excited.
As per the Vaastu experts, Rakhis with such figures is literally unfavorable and can strain connections between brothers and sisters. On the other hand, Rakhis with sacred symbols, like ‘aunkar’ or a ‘swastika’, are usually known to be holy and do not have any dangerous impacts. Several people also use Rakhis made out of gold and silver but metal is also not a best choice for a Rakhi and the better option for buying Rakhis are the ones manufacturing from natural fibre. This Rakhi, be aware of what we purchase for our brothers and celebrate this festival that cause families closer.
