Traditionally, on this day, sisters do not eat anything until they have tied Rakhi to their brothers. On the day of Rakshabandhan, sisters pray for their brothers and also make a holy pledge to protect them. The tradition of tying Raksha Sutras has been going on since ancient times and it has become more fun now. According to the legend, once the war broke out between the gods and the asuras and on the day of this holy festival raksha sutra was tied.
