Learn the story of Rakshabandhan

According to the legend, in ancient times, when King Bali was performing Ashwamedh Yagya, at that time Lord Shri Vishnu assumed the form of Vamana avatar and sought three steps of land from King Bali in order to trick King Bali. At that time, King Bali promised to give three steps to Lord Vishnu without thinking. In no time, Lord Vishnu measured the sky and the underworld in two steps with his small feet. King Bali had no place for the third step. So he put his head under the feet of Lord Vishnu.

Seeing this, Lord Vishnu was very pleased with King Bali. Then King Bali asked Lord Vishnu to promise that when he sees, he should also see Lord Vishnu. Hearing this, Lord Vishnu made a promise to King Bali and went to Patal Lok by saying Amen. When Lord Vishnu went to Patal Lok, Mother Lakshmi started getting very worried. Seeing the concern of Mata Lakshmi, Devarshi Narad suggested Mata Ek to make Raja Bali his brother.

By doing this, their master will come back to them. After listening to Narad Muni, Goddess Lakshmi disguised as a woman reached King Bali in Patal Lok crying. When King Bali saw her crying, he asked her the reason for crying, then mother Lakshmi said that I have no brother. Because of this I am very sad. Hearing this, King Bali said to Mother Lakshmi that you become my sister. After this, Mata Lakshmi tied a rakhi to King Bali and demanded back her lord Lord Vishnu. According to mythological beliefs, it is said that from that time the festival of Raksha Bandhan became popular in the world.

According to another legend, when Lord Shri Krishna killed Shishupala with his Sudarshan Chakra, his little finger was cut off by the Sudarshan Chakra. Due to the cut of the finger, blood started flowing. At the same time, Draupadi tied a piece of all her belongings to Lord Krishna’s finger. Since then, Lord Shri Krishna accepted Draupadi as his sister and promised to save her from every crisis. For this reason, Lord Shri Krishna had saved Draupadi from being naked in Chir Haran.
