Rakhi Speech: Greeting people with speech introduction

Today we all have gathered here to celebrate the holy festival of Raksha Bandhan. Raksha Bandhan, which we also know as Rakhi, is a symbol of unbreakable love and affection between brother and sister. Rakhi is not just a festival, it is one of those traditions of Indian culture which shows the depth and importance of our relationships.

Story of Raksha Bandhan

Stories of Raksha Bandhan are found in our mythological texts and history. One story is that during the Mahabharata, when Lord Krishna asked Draupadi for a piece of cloth to tie his/her injured finger, Draupadi tied it without thinking. Krishna responded to this affection by promising to protect her throughout her life.

Similarly, the story of Queen Karnavati and Mughal Emperor Humayun also shows the importance of Raksha Bandhan. When the queen sent a Rakhi to Humayun and requested him/her to protect her.

Importance of Raksha Bandhan

On this day, sisters tie a Rakhi on their brothers’ wrists and wish them a happy and safe life. In return for this Rakhi, brothers promise to protect their sisters and also give gifts to show their affection towards them.

This festival teaches us that no matter how busy we are, we should give importance to our relationships. We should give them time. We should maintain affection and respect for them. So come.. on this auspicious occasion, let us all take a pledge that we will preserve our relationships with love and respect.

Concluding speech on Raksha Bandhan

This relationship is the most unique and lovely,
Sister ties the Rakhi, brother makes all the promises.
Always be happy sister, this is my wish,
May you get a treasure of happiness on Rakshabandhan.
Wishing you all a very Happy Raksha Bandhan! Thank you!
