Namastey HDF,

I have been travelling to many different places in abroad. I met a lady at a cafeteria asking me about Rakhi as she might have guessed that I am an Indian. I explained her about the Raksha Bandhan, Rakhi and sweets that we exchange. why is rakhi tied to all rituals that are done on this day everything I told her and she was very excited for the celebration.

But from past 3-4 years I have seen that Rakhis are also tied on woman's wrist.
I am not able to get the logic that many sites and information we have been getting from childhood tells us that Raksha Bandhan festival is the celebration of Brother sister Love.

Is it only limited to brother-sister? or even one sister can tie rakhi on other sister's wrist?

If please any one clear my doubt because I can come across this question sometime in the future.

Hari Om.
