Like – how many knots should be tied while tying Rakhi, in which direction Rakhi should be tied. Let us know in detail.

Why is it necessary to tie so many knots?

First knot – There is a very deep belief hidden behind tying 3 knots in Rakhi. It is believed that these three knots symbolize the Tridev - Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh (Shiva). The first knot is dedicated to Brahma Ji, who is the creator of the universe. This marks a good beginning of life and the arrival of positive energy in life.

The second knot is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, who is called the protector of the world. This is to protect the brother, bless him with prosperity and good health.

The third knot - The third knot is considered to be dedicated to Mahadev, who is the destroyer and the giver of salvation. This knot indicates protection from evil forces and protection from bad deeds.

Keep in mind the direction.

While tying Rakhi to the brother, the sister needs to keep in mind the direction. By doing this, both the brother and the sister get auspicious results. Therefore, keep in mind that while tying the Rakhi, the brother's face should be towards the east and the sister's face should be towards the west. Both these directions are considered the best for a brother and sister.
