History and Significance. 
Raksha Bandhan, also called Rakhi Purnima or just Rakhi, has deep rooted historical significance. The main story behind Raksha Bandhan is during the time of "Devasur Sangram" All gods, goddess  and even Indra were kicked our from heaven by demons in the war. Gods were not so mighty to face the mighty demons.  They had no options to stay anywhere so they went to Lord Shiva for solutions. It was this day "Shrawan Purnima" so Mata Parvati immediately tied up a yarn on the right wrist  of all gods and blessed with extra divine powers for war with demons.  After having tied up Raksha Sutra, gods fought war with demons and it kept on going for thousands of years. And finally, gods won the war and Indra got his throne of heaven. 

Gods then came over to Kailash for darshan of Lord Shiva and Maa Bhagwati. So, since then  "Raksha Sutra or bandhan" on the wrist of her brother is a guarantee for life long protection of brothers and in reply brother also guarantees  for safe and security of sisters at all cost have been celebrated in Bharat.   
It  is a nice  Hindu festival where sisters dress up beautifully  to celebrate this special occasion with their brothers. Sisters also pray for a prosperous future and a long life for their brothers. Rakhi holds great emotional and religious significance. The festival keeps the deep rooted culture of the country alive, strengthens the relationship of siblings and ensures togetherness. No such festival is visible anywhere except India.
