Paragraph on raksha bandhan and 15th august in hindi

मित्र हम एक विषय पर दे रहे हैं। दूसरे विषय पर इसी प्रकार स्वयं लिखने का प्रयास करें-

'भारत' विभिन्न धर्मों और संस्कृतियों का देश है। इस कारण यहाँ विभिन्न त्योहार मनाए जाते हैं। त्योहार को मनाने के पीछे एक महत्वपूर्ण प्रेरणा छिपी रहती है, जो हमें इन त्योहार को मनाने के लिए प्रेरित करती है। ऐसे ही त्योहार में से एक 'रक्षाबंधन' है। भारतीय संस्कृति में इस त्योहार का अपना ही विशेष महत्व है। श्रावण मास की पूर्णिमा के दिन 'रक्षाबंधन' मनाया जाता है। इस दिन प्रत्येक बहन अपने भाई को राखी (रक्षासूत्र) बाँधती है तथा अपने भाई की लंबी आयु और मंगल की कामना करती है। भाईयों की कलाई में बाँधे जाने वाले सूत्र के कारण ही यह त्योहार 'रक्षाबंधन' के नाम से जाना जाता है। 

राखी से कुछ दिनों पहले बाज़ार का नज़ारा ही अलग होता है। चारों तरफ दुकानों में विभिन्न तरह की सुंदर-सुंदर रंग-बिरंगी राखियाँ देखने को मिलती हैं। बहनें अपनी पंसद अनुसार भाई के लिए राखियाँ खरीदती हैं। भाई यदि शहर से बाहर या विदेश में रहता है, तो बहनें पोस्ट के माध्यम से भाई को अपनी राखियाँ कुछ दिनों पहले ही भिजवा देती हैं। भाई प्रात:काल नहा-धोकर अपनी बहन का इंतजार करते हैं। बहनें थाली में राखी, अक्षत, रोली और दीया आदि सजाकर रखती हैं। सर्वप्रथम वे अपने भाईयों की आरती उतारती हैं और उन्हें राखी बाँधती है। विवाहिता बहनें मुख्य रूप से इस दिन भाई के घर उसे राखी बाँधने आती हैं। भाई अपनी बहनों को यथाशक्ति अनुसार उपहार या रूपए देते हैं। भाई अपनी बहन को सारी उम्र उसकी रक्षा का भी वचन देता है। 

इस त्योहार को मनाने के पीछे ऐतिहासिक कारण है। इस दिन चित्तौड़ की रानी 'कर्मवती' ने अपनी रक्षा करने के लिए मुगल सम्राट 'हुमायूँ' को रक्षासूत्र भेजा था। रानी का रक्षासूत्र देखकर सम्राट तुरंत उसकी रक्षा के लिए निकल पड़े। तभी से यह रक्षाबंधन के रूप में मनाया जाने लगा। प्राचीनकाल से ही हिन्दू धर्म में इस दिन ब्राह्मणों के द्वारा अपने यजमानों को रक्षासूत्र बाँधा जाता रहा है। वे अपने यजमानों को सूत्र बाँधते हुए उनके मंगल की कामना करते हैं।

यह त्योहार भाई और बहन के प्रेम का प्रतीक है। परन्तु आज इस त्योहार में बहनों और भाईयों में प्रेम की भावना प्राय: गायब होती नज़र आ रही हैं। पहले हमें चाहिए कि इस त्योहार को पूरे श्रद्धा और प्रेम से मनाएँ। भाई और बहन के इस पावन पर्व में प्रेम के स्थान पर अन्य किसी दुर्भावना का स्थान नहीं हो चाहिए तभी इस त्योहार के महत्व को समझा जा सकता है।

Festivals are the celebration of togetherness the celebrations of being one of the family. Festival of Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan is one such major occasion. It is the celebration of brothers and sisters.

It is one festival that primarily belongs to the North and Western regions of India but celebrated throughout the country with the same verve. Regional celebrations may be different but Raksha Bandhan has become an integral part of those customs.

Raksha Bandhan is known by different names in different states of India, by different communities. Raksha Bandhan significance also varies with the region. Raksha Bandhan has a different significance in southern and coastal regions. Rakhi Purnima is celebrated in the northern and north-western parts of India with a lot of zest and esprit.

Here, Raksha Bandhan is the celebration of the chaste bond of love between a brother and a sister. Raksha Bandhan is called Nariyal Purnima or coconut full moon in the Western Ghats that includes the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka. Here Raksha Bandhan signifies the beginning of a new season for those dependent on sea.

The Raksha Bandhan day is called Shravani or Kajari Purnima in Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand and Bihar. Raksha Bandhan, here is an important day for farmers and women who have sons. The Raksha Bandhan day is celebrated as Pavitropana in Gujarat. Raksha Bandhan is the day when people perform the grand pooja or the worship of the three eyed God, Lord Shiva.

It is the culmination of the prayers done throughout the year. As per the traditions, the sister on this day prepares the pooja thali with diya, roli, chawal and rakhis. She worships the deities, ties Rakhi to the brother(s) and wishes for their well-being. The brother in turn acknowledges the love with a promise to be by the sisters side through the thick and thin and gives her a token gift.

The festival has been celebrated in the same way with the same traditions for centuries. Only the means have changed with the changing lifestyles. This is to make the celebrations more elaborate. Raksha Bandhan is primarily a North Indian festival kindling the deepest emotions of love and affection amongst the siblings. Just like all Indian festivals, this is also celebrated with lots of verve.

The sister ties the rakhi on the brothers wrist and both pray for each others well being followed by a pledge from the brother to take care of his sister under all circumstances. The brother usually gifts something to die sister to mark the occasion.

Celebrated enveloped in the festiveness. The mirth that surrounds the festival is unsurpassed. Amidst the merriment the rituals are also followed with great devotion. The rakhis and the sweets are bought and prepared generally before the Purnima. As per the tradition the family members get ready for the rituals early. They take a bath to purify mind and body before starting any preparations.

The sisters prepare die thali for the pooja. It contains the rakhi threads, kumkurn powder, rice grains, diya (an earthen or a metal lamp used for worshiping), agarbattis (incense sticks) and sweets. The brother in turn blesses the sister and promises to protect her from the evils of the world. He gifts something to her as a token of his love and affection. The rituals may differ a little from region to region but generally carry the same aura.

In Delhi, the capital of India, the day is celebrated with great pomp and show. People gather in large numbers in the Parade Ground in front of the Red Fort. There is a great hustle and bustle everywhere. They line up all routes leading to the fort and eagerly wait for the arrival of the Prime Minister.

The foreign ambassadors and dignitaries also participate in the celebrations. The Prime Minister unfurls the National Flag. A guard of honour is given by the local police and the army. A salute of 31 guns is fired. The military band plays the National Anthem. The Prime Minister greets the ambassadors seated at the parapet and delivers a speech. Homage is paid to those who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of the country.
