The festival of 'Raksha Bandhan' is today celebrated across India by the brothers and sisters. The festival marks the promise of a brother to his sister to protect her for ever.
It is an ancient Vedic festival that is celebrated mostly by the Hindus and on the full moon day of the Shravan month of the Hindu calendar. Rakhi is considered as a sacred thread that is tied by the sister on the wrist of her brother, who gives a promise to protect her.
As per tradition the brother also gives a 'shagun' or a gift on the festival. Even the market will be filled with colorful and different types of 'Rakhis'. The festival is also a way to re-bond the relation between the brothers and sisters.
The festival is not only celebrated in India but also by the Indians residing abroad. For all those who are looking to wish their friends and families, here are a few SMS wishes to remember them on the occasion.

so he has given mothers to each family.
In the same way mother could not take care
for the whole part of our life, so she had given brothers.
Thanks for being my brother.
Happy Raksha Bandhan
