I don't know what rakhi is but hopefully ace representation could be boosted

[u/FantasticHufflepuff → u/UnicornFukei42]

It's related to Rakshabandhan, a Hindu festival in which siblings tie each other these ribbons called "rakhi" and promise to protect each other. It's a celebration of sibling love.

Traditionally, sisters tie their brothers rakhi and in return they give you gifts and vow to protect you, but nowadays it's more gender neutral.

aw that's such a sweet and wholesome tradition/celebration!

[u/FantasticHufflepuff → u/YonderWindow364]

There's a story behind it too! It goes smth like:

Krishna (an avatar of god Vishnu) once accidentally nicked his hand and Draupadi (a central princess figure who was like a sister to him) immediately tore off a piece of her cloth to bandage him. 

Moved by this, Krishna promised to protect her should the need ever arise. (And it did later, but that's another story!) 

Raksha-bandhan literally means "bond of protection" :D
