Yes, what you read is true. Rakhi can also be tied to Husband. This is nothing new, its there since a very long time. This is also said many times in Puranas as well.

Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi Purnima or simply Rakhi is the Shravan purnima’s second festival. The festival falls on the full moon day (Shravan Poornima) of the Shravan month of the Hindu calendar. In some areas, it is also called as Jandhyala Purnima. Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival that celebrates the love and duty between brothers and sisters. The festival is observed by Hindus, Jains, and many Sikhs.

Before we get into the details first we must understand what is the meaning of Raksha Bandhan.

Raksha Bandhan means the person who gets the Rakhi tied must protect the one who tied Rakhi to him. Generally the brother has to protect his sister and their relationship should last long enough without any disturbances.

In many parts of the country Rakhi is also tied to their Husband. That means they want their Husband to protect them for their lifetime. But most the people in the country think that its only the celebration between brother and sister which is not completely true.

So, friends don’t forget to tie Rakhi to the person who always safeguards you.
