There are some historical facts related to the significance of Raksha bandhan. One of the important incident is concerned with Krishna and Draupadi story from the epic Mahabharata that Draupadi had torn a strip of silk from her sari and tied the thread on Krishna's index fingure to stop bleeding and Krishna repaid the debt of love at time of Bastra-Harana of Draupadi. Another legend is related with the story of the Lord of Death Yama and his sister Yamuna that Yamuna tied thread on the wrist of Yama and bestowed immorality and after that Yama declared that whoever gets a Rakhi from his sister and will promise to protect her for life time will get immorality. Since then the tradition is going on from generation to generation.
