I Will Tell You The Truth About Raksha Bandhan in Few Words

Ancient ritual was different from todays
1. The story of Lord Krishna and Draupadi. According to the story Lord Krishna was injured in a war and Draupadi tore a strip from her sari and tied it around the injury. This piece of sari was symbol of the thread of Rakhi and Lord Krishna became the bother of Draupadi. And later Krishna saved Draupadi from Dushashana in a dice game.
2. The story of Lord Indra and Demon King. Once there was a big battle between Lord Indra who is the king of Heaven and Demon king. The powers of Demons were more than Lord Indra and he was worried. Seeing this,wife of Indra praying to the Almighty. After that she prepared a thread with her power of mantra and tied it on the wrist of Indra. That thread protected Indra & he won the battle from Demons.
3. The Story of Ganesha and his sister Manasa. This story shows the birth of Goddess Santoshi maa. One day of Raksha bandhan, Manasa visited to Lord Ganesha, did Pooja with flowers (now it’s easy to send flowers in Kolkata via flowersandyou.com) and tie the rakhi on his wrist. On seeing this sons of Lord Ganesha wants their own sister. Lord Ganesha fulfilled their demand and created Goddess Santoshi Maa.
