Raksha Bandhan’s basic idea is to honour the bond between brothers and sisters. In fact, the words “Raksha Bandhan” mean “bond of protection.”

The main events of the holiday involve sisters tying a “Rakhi,” a kind of sacred thread, around the wrist of their brothers. This is to indicate their love for their brothers. The brother, in turn, gives his sisters gifts that indicate his commitment to protecting them.

Today, Rakhi threads are sometimes given to “non-sisters.” For example, priests may tie them on the wrists of congregants, friends may exchange them, and others tie them around the wrists of Indian soldiers. In these cases, the Rakhi indicates simply protection rather than a brother-sister relationship.

The Rakhi's are very colourful, made of red and golden threads that are intertwined. But there is more going on than just the exchange of Rakhi's on Raksha Bandhan. You will also observe traditional singing and dancing, find Indian sweets and souvenirs for sale, and see various local cultural celebrations.

TODAY! AusAlert Testing - 27th July 2026

AusAlert Testing - 27th July 2026
An AusAlert national test will be sent to all compatible mobile devices in Australia on Monday 27 July 2026, between 12 - 2pm. At this time devices will sound an alert for about 10 seconds.
AusAlerts use sound, vibration and on-screen messages to get your attention. Alerts look and sound different from a standard text message. They can alert you even if your device is on ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’.
Children need clear, calm and accessible information during emergencies. They may need help from parents, educators or carers to understand what is happening and what to do.
AusAlert messages may appear on children's phones, tablets and smartwatches. Parents, carers and guardians should help children understand:
• what AusAlert is
• what alerts mean
• what to do if they receive an alert.
AusAlert is a new national warning system that uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices during local and national disasters. AusAlert messages keep communities informed so they can take action, saving lives and property.
For more information about AusAlert, as well as helpful resources to prepare children for the testing, please visit: https://www.ausalert.gov.au/community-resources/children-teens
