Rakshabandhan

Rakshabandhan yoki Raxibandhan - Shravan oyining to'lin oy kunida (iyul-avgust) nishonlanadigan mashhur hind festivali . Shu kuni opa-singillar akalarining qo'llariga ularni yovuz kuchlardan himoya qilish uchun mo'ljallangan muqaddas bandajlar ("rakxa" deb ataladi) qo'yishadi va yigit o'z navbatida singlisiga sovg'a beradi va uni himoya qilish va homiylik qilish majburiyatini oladi umrining oxirigaacha. Marosim oxirida aka-uka va opa bir-birlariga turli shirinliklar berishadi. Xuddi shu kuni brahminlar o'zlarining muqaddas brahman iplarini yangisiga almashtiradilar.

Marosim aka-uka o'rtasida o'tkazilishi shart emas; qiz yigitning qo'liga rakxa bog'lab, shu bilan uning asrab oluvchi singlisi bo'lishi mumkin. Hindiston tarixida ayollar aka-uka bo'lmagan, ba'zilari esa hatto hindu bo'lmagan erkaklardan himoya va homiylik so'ragan holatlar ko'p bo'lgan. Hukmdorlar bir paytlar ularga rakxa bog‘lab qo‘ygan qizni himoya qilish maqsadida urushga ketgan holatlar ham bor. Rakxa boshqa holatlarda ham bog'lanishi mumkin, masalan, Hindistonning mustaqillik uchun kurashi davrida bo'lgani kabi, oddiygina birdamlik belgisi sifatida.

Hind an'analariga ko'ra, devalar va asuralar urushi paytida Indra kuchli jin Vritra ustidan g'alaba qozona olmadi. Indraning xotini erining bilagiga maxsus kuchga ega bo'lgan ipak arqonni bog'laganidan keyingina Indra Vritrani mag'lub etib, asuralardan o'zining samoviy maskanini qaytarib oldi.
