Raksha Bandhan falls on the full moon (Purnima) of Shravan month, when sisters tie a rakhi on their brothers' wrists.
Rakhi celebrates the bond between siblings — the thread, the sweets, the pocket-money negotiation, and, for siblings in different cities, the rakhi that travels by post or as a card that arrives on time, every time.
