What Coloured Rakhi Should You Tie to Your Brother?

Raksha Bandhan is a festival that celebrates bonding between brothers and sisters. Like every Hindu festival, it has its fair share of mythological significance. It is celebrated on the Purnima full moon day of the Saavan month, a time considered auspicious in Hindu culture. 

Mythological Scenario of Rakshabandhan

According to the myths, Lord Vishnu asked King Bali for three steps of Land in the Vamana Avatar. He measured the sky in one step, and in the second, he measured the earth. Then, when Vishnu asked where he should put his third step, he said, put your third step on my head. Lord Vishnu was pleased with King Bali and asked him to ask for a boon. Bali said that Vishnu should stay with him, to which he agreed.
Goddess Lakshmi was unhappy with Vishnu’s decision to stay with King Bali, so she went to Raja Bali, tied him a ‘Raksha Sootra,’ and took Vishnu. This act of tying a protective thread, or Rakhi, is believed to be the origin of the Raksha Bandhan festival. It is said to have taken place on the Poornima of the Saavan month, and it is believed that King Bali and Goddess Lakshmi celebrated the first Raksha Bandhan. On Raksha Bandhan, sisters tie a Rakhi to brothers and pray for their good health and prosperity.
 According to astrology, the colour of the Rakhi holds great significance, as it can have a distinct impact on individuals' lives. Each Rakhi colour is associated with specific zodiac signs; tying a Rakhi of the favoured colour for your brother can strengthen your bond. It's a thoughtful gesture that can make the union even stronger. Let's explore the best-coloured Rakhis for each zodiac sign.

If your brother's zodiac sign is Aries, then he is ruled by Mars. The lord of energy and vigour and the colour of Mars is Red. Tie a red-coloured Rakhi after applying a saffron-coloured tilak on his forehead. This will fill him with a lot of positive energy. Sisters with this zodiac can wear saffron or pink attire while performing the rituals.

When your brother is a Taurian, Venus is the Lord of this zodiac sign. Venus's favourite colours are White and Silver. So, sisters should buy a pearl-white Rakhi or a silver band Rakhi, which would be fine. Apply a tilak of Roli and put some rice along with it. Any white-coloured sweet dish will bring more sweetness to this brother-sister relationship.

Green is associated with Mercury, the lord of Gemini. For the Gemini brothers, green would be the best colour of Rakhi. Since Mercury is the lord of the mind, tying a green-coloured Rakhi and offering a Besan Ladoo will increase your brother's thinking capabilities and make him more creative.

Well, this is a moon-ruled zodiac, and as it looks shiny white in a clear night sky, it is the colour of the moon and, hence, the best colour of Rakhi for people with this zodiac. Tie a shiny white silk thread around your brother's wrist; if not a thread, a pearl band can also act as a good Rakhi. A sandalwood tilak will give the brother a sense of calmness.
