The thread holds prayers to God almighty to keep her brother safe, healthy, prosperous, and send good wishes and blessings his way. Sister generally gives a gift to her brother as she ties Rakhi.

In reciprocation, the brother vows to protect and support her at every step of life; and honors her emotions by showering Rakhi gifts for sister. This ritual is repeated every year. The dates of celebration may differ every year based on Moon Position. Likewise, the Muhurats may also change.

Such is the beauty of this festival! Man of the house (father) receives Rakhi from his sister with whom he may be separated by distance but not emotions; he reciprocates sister’s love by sending Rakhi gift to her. On the other hand, the lady of the house (mother) celebrates it by sending Rakhi to her brother and receives gifts in return; their little daughter celebrates it with her kid brother. And if grandparents are staying with them they also send Rakhi to their siblings or simply rejoice in the fun that their children and grand-children are having! Everyone celebrates the same festival with same emotions with their own sibling.
