Raksha Bandhan is an important festival of Sanatan Dharma, which is a symbol of the loving relationship between brother and sister. This festival is a symbol of the sacred bond and love between brother and sister. According to the Hindu calendar, the festival of Raksha Bandhan is being celebrated with great pomp today on 19 August. Meanwhile, Lord Shri Ram is also celebrating Raksha Bandhan. Lord Shri Ram’s sister Shanta has also sent a Rakhi this time like every time.
On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Rakhi for Lord Ram has reached Ayodhya from Shringi Rishi and Shanta Mandir in Kullu, Himachal. Along with this, a large number of women from the ancient Shringi Rishi Ashram Mata Shanta Mandir built on the border of Ayodhya and Ambedkar Nagar reached the residence of priest Acharya Satyendra Das with Rakhi with pomp and show. Where they offered 56 bhogs and fruits along with Rakhi to him.
According to mythology, King Dasharath of Ayodhya also had a daughter. Whose name is said to be Shanta. Queen Kaushalya’s sister Varshini and her husband Romapada, who was the king of Anga country, were childless. So when they wished for a daughter like Shanta, Maharaj Dasharath and Kaushalya gave Shanta for adoption.

According to the Puranas, when Shanta grew up, King Romapada got her married to Shringi Rishi. There is a temple of Shringi Rishi and Shanta in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh and Shringeri, Karnataka. The city of Shringeri in Karnataka is named after Shringi Rishi. Every year, Rakhi for Lord Shri Ram comes from this temple.
Rakhi is tied every year
Actually, Lord Ram’s sister ties a Rakhi to him every year. This tradition is still going on. Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief priest of the Janmabhoomi temple, will tie this Raksha Sutra on Ram Lalla’s wrist. The biggest specialty of the Rakhi that came from Shringi Rishi Ashram is that with the beginning of Sawan, a group of women made Rakhi with silk threads with their own hands and during the making, the work of making Rakhi was started only after the Puja Paath every day according to the Vedic tradition.
