The origin of Raksha Bandhan goes back to the era of gods and goddesses. According to a popular legend, Draupadi tied a piece of cloth on Lord Krishna's wrist after she was hurt while killing the evil king Shishupala. In return, Krishna promised to protect them. There is an incident of Rakhi in medieval history. When in the attack of Bahadur Shah of Gujarat, Queen Karnavati of Mewar sent Rakhi to Emperor Humayun and asked for his help. Humayun took Karnavati's Rakhi and without wasting any time rushed to help the queen. On this day sisters apply tilak on the forehead of their brother, perform aarti and tie rakhi on his wrist. Rakhi is a symbol of brother and sister love. In exchange for Rakhi, the brother gifts his sister and promises to protect her under any circumstances.
