On Raksha Bandhan, when a sister ties Rakhi on her brother’s wrist, three knots should be tied on the Raksha Sutra. According to religious belief, it is considered auspicious to make three knots while tying Rakhi because three knots are related to the trinity Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh.
It is said that the first knot of Rakhi is tied for the long life of the brother, the second knot is for the long life of oneself, and the third knot is tied to protect the strong bond between brother and sister.
