The story of Raksha-Bandhan is related to the Hindu epic Mahabharata. In Mahabharata, Lord Krishna once cut his finger which then started bleeding. Seeing this Draupadi then tore a piece of cloth from her saree and tied it to his finger to stop the bleeding. The piece of cloth then became a sacred thread. Considering the cloth that she tied a sacred thread, Krishna promised her that he will protect her from all evils throughout his life. 

Raksha-Bandhan signifies security and a relationship. The relationship between brothers and sisters as well as the safety that the brother offers to his sister. On this day, a sister wraps a thread around her brother's wrist as a sign of her unwavering trust in him and her wishes for a long life for him. In exchange, the brother vows to constantly make her happy and keep her safe from any harm. The celebration honours the relationship between siblings.
