Ancient History of Rakhi according to Vedas and Puranas
Indra and Indrani
Indrani is wife of Indra who is king of heaven but was very rude in his behavior. Moreover he always insults demons who were his half brother. To take revenge on Indra, the demon plans to kill him. So that he could get the punishment for his ego and partiality . Therefore Indrani (Sachi) the wife of Indra prays to lord Vishnu to save his husband. She ties the cotton thread on Indira’s wrist . This thread was a gift from Lord Vishnu which represents love. Considering this, people also celebrate this day by tieing a thread on their husband’s wrist when they are leaving for war.
King Bali and Goddess Lakshmi
King Bali is grandson of Prahalad who was a devotee of Lord Vishnu. The Bhagavata Purana and Vishnu Purana depict a story about Lord Vishnu. Actually Vishnu came in Baman avatar and asked for 3 feet of land from Bali. In the first place he agreed to it. Then Lord Vishnu put one foot on earth , the second foot on sky covering the whole universe. In addition , Lord Vishnu asks him . Where should he keep his third foot. Eventually Bali recognize him. He said please put it on my head. Also he request him to stay with him in his palace . Meanwhile Lord Vishnu accepts his request. And they start to live together in that palace.
Goddess Lakshmi who is wife of lord Vishnu want him to stay in his abode Vaikuntha. In addition she is missing her husband. So She approaches King Bali in a disguised woman who is seeking shelter as her husband is staying away from her . As King Bali is very generous , he opens his doors for her . In fact Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth and prosperity. As a result king Bali also gains wealth and prosperity .On this full moon day she tied a rakhi and made King Bali her brother. King Bali ask Goddess Lakshmi what in return she wanted as a gift from him . Goddess Lakshmi wants her husband to be free from the vow. Because of the vow he cannot return to his adobe.
