When is Raksha Bandhan?

On August 17, 2027.

What is Raksha Bandhan?

Raksha Bandhan is a cherished Hindu festival celebrating the bond between siblings. Sisters tie a decorative thread called a rakhi around their brother's wrist as a symbol of love and protection, and in return brothers promise to look after them — a heartfelt renewal of family ties.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
