The festival of Raksha Bandhan is very special for everyone. But do you know how the Marwari community celebrates the festival of Rakhi? Actually, Raksha Bandhan is a special festival for Marwaris. They wait for this festival because for them it is not just a festival of tying a Rakhi to their brother. Rather, it is a day of bringing the whole family together and celebrating by tying a Rakhi to each member of the family.

In Jharkhand, along with the brother, Rakhi is also tied to the sister and sister-in-law, which is called Lumba. Rakhi is also tied to the nephew and niece. This belief has been going on since the time of Shri Krishna. Actually, Krishna’s sister Subhadra tied Rakhi to Rukmani. Subhadra respected her brother and sister-in-law by tying Rakhi to Krishna and Rukmani together. In the Marwari community, there are more people who believe in Lord Krishna. On the basis of this belief, Rakhi is tied to the sisters-in-law here. This not only keeps the love between the sister-in-law and sister-in-law alive. Rather, it works to tie the entire family in a silk thread.
Gifts for sister-in-law, nephew and niece
A brother gives gifts to his sister on Rakshabandhan, but here the sister-in-law ties a Lumban to her sister-in-law and also gives her gifts. She also ties Rakhi to her niece and nephew and gives them gifts. Actually, giving gifts shows how much the sister-in-law cares for her sister-in-law. How much she loves her. Because when women are happy in the house, the house becomes a temple. She further told that on the day of Rakshabandhan, before tying Rakhi to the brother, we first dedicate the Rakhi to Krishna. And if there is Laddu Gopal in the house, then we dedicate it to him. Krishna is worshipped as per rituals. Only after this, the process of tying Rakhi to brothers begins.
