1. Read the following passage carefully:
Raksha Bandhan
Raksha bandhan falls on Shravan Purnima.On this day, whosoever accepts a Rakhi Thread is protected from evil.According to one legend, in a battle that the gods were losing, in the court of Indra(God of war), his consort Indrani assured the gods that they would win the next day. She tied a Madadiyn on Indra’s wrist, a rakhi. And demons lost.A legend in Mahabharat says,Queen Kunti tied a rakhi on her grandson and Arjuna’s son Abhimanyu’s arm before the Kaurva and Pandavas battle.Years later, during Mughal rule, Rajputs queens would send
rachis to brave Maharajas seeking protection. Apparently, a rajput queen sent a rakhi to Emperor Aurangzeb who had sent a huge army on her husband’s kingdom. Aurangzeb, moved by this gesture, decided to withdraw his forces and promised to protect his “sister”. Today, tying rakhi reinforces a bond that ensures the brother will protect and see to the welfare of his sister and ensure that no harm comes to her. In turn, the sister prays for the
well being of her brother.
