Raksha Bandan Festival
This celebration does not have a constant day in the calendar, and the month can vary (July or August). But, if the tourist is lucky and his vacation coincides with the celebration of Raksha Bandana, you should immediately join the locals.
One of the main rituals becomes ablution in the nearest body of water: river, lake, sea. The Indians have their own god of water, whose name is Varune. According to tradition, on this day, he accepts offerings in the form of coconuts.
And another very touching ritual is carried out between brothers and sisters. On the day of the Raksha Bandana celebration, each girl replaces the consecrated lace worn by her brother on the wrist with a new one.

For this holiday, each temple is decorated with illumination, solemn services are held. In Mathura, where, according to legend, Krishna's childhood years passed, special honors are given. The highlight of the holiday can be considered theatrical pantomimes and dances.
