The holy thread is not just any other accessory for men, it is a culmination of a sister’s love and blessings tied in one thread. On the rakhi shubh muhurat, the sister chants mantras and prays to God for her brother’s safety and health. She encloses her blessings in one thread that will likely protect her brother from all the evil, bad vibes and negative people.
