Is Raksha Bandhan a Public Holiday in India?

Raksha Bandhan is not a public holiday in most parts of India, meaning it’s not a mandatory public holiday for all sectors. However, it is seen in many government offices and schools in many states. Depending on your region or workplace, you should check for local holiday guidelines. Still, for many families, the day is set aside for celebration and togetherness, regardless of whether it’s a holiday.

What is the Significance of Raksha Bandhan?

Raksha Bandhan represents love, protection, and gratitude. The rakhi symbolizes a sister’s prayers for her brother’s well-being, while the brother promises to support and protect her in every stage of her life. However in modern times, Raksha Bandhan goes beyond gender roles and rituals; it’s about appreciating anyone who feels like a sibling, no matter the bond of blood. It’s also a chance to pause, reflect, and be happy on the relationships we often overlook. In a fast-paced world, tying a rakhi becomes a gentle way to show, “I’m here no matter what. You matter to me.”
