Raksha Bandhan katha
When Krishna cut his finger, Draupadi tore her sari and tied it round the wound.
Krishna promised to protect her, and saved her honour in the Kaurava court.
The rakhi carries the same promise of love and protection.
A simple home puja. Follow your family tradition and priest where they differ.
