Rakhi has a deep cultural significance. Mughal emperor Humayun was deeply touched by the Rakhi Rani Karnawati of Chittor sent to him, asking for his protection. And so, was Bali, who freed Narayana from guarding him forever, when Goddess Lakshmi tied a Rakhi on his hand and asked her husbands freedom for a boon. Porus, too, spared Alexander the Great, when his eyes fell on the Rakhi on his wrist sent to him by Alexanders wife Roxana.
While Rakhis are believed to lend immortality to brothers, it bestows boons of ever-lasting protection, love and care on sisters. There is a legend too that tells how Rakhi came to be known as Raksha kavach (protection shield) for brothers. Yama (the Lord of Death) and Yamuna (the sacred River known for its association with Lord Krishna) are brothers and sisters. Once on Raksha Bandhan, Yamuna tied Rakhi on the wrist of Yama and granted him the boon of immortality. In return, Yama said that whenever a sister will tie Rakhi on her brothers wrist and wish for his immortality, her prayers will come true and her brother will have a long life.
In Bundelkhand region, folklore of Prince Hardaul is quiet famous. Prince Hardaul is said to have showered gifts and boons on his neices marriage, even after his death, to keep promises he made to a poor girl who had tied a Rakhi on his wrist.
