Rakhi Celebrations in Major Indian Cities
Rakhi in India is a reflection of the rich culture and time honored legacy of the Indian traditions. Taking its root during the mythological times where the deities and demons were at war, and the sacred thread played a crucial role in bringing victory to our Gods, the very Indian Rakhi festival is known the world over. Rakhi in India is observed on Shravan Purnima (full moon day), which falls in the months of July-August in the English calendar. The Indian calendar of festivals is subject to change; hence Rakhi celebrations also fall on the different dates of the English calendar. The entire nation spruces up for the festivities and Rakhi celebrations are quite distinct in the major Indian cities.
