How Raksha Bandhan was started?
In Hindu mythology, there are many stories
related to the origin of this festival. One of the stories revolves around God
Krishna and Draupadi, the wife of Pandavas. According to one version of
Mahabharat, Krishna got cut in his little finger while handling sugarcane. Lord
Krishna’s wife immediately sent her help to get a bandage cloth. Draupadi who
was watching this incident simply tore off a part of her sari and bandaged his
finger.
In return for her deed, Krishna promised to
protect her in times of distress. He kept his promise and that was how
Draupadi's sari became endless and saved her embarrassment on the day she was
disrobed in full public view in king Dhritarashtra's court.
