On Rakhi, sister(s) tie a sacred thread on the wrist of their brother(s) and give them blessings for a happy, healthy and prosperous life; in return, brothers give them some money or presents.

A Less known fact about Raksha Bandhan –

Do you know that by celebrating the festival of Raksha Bandhan, we unknowingly perform an astrology remedy? Well, sister represents planet Mercury and brother represents planet Mars. When siblings exchange sacred threads (Rakhi) & gifts, they indirectly perform remedies to please their respective planets. Hence, to do this remedy appropriately, you must present a lucky object to your siblings that could benefit both you and your sibling.
