  • Draupadi and Krishna: She tied a cloth to his bleeding finger, and Krishna promised to protect her forever — symbolizing divine love and care.

  • Rani Karnavati & Humayun: The Queen of Mewar sent a Rakhi to Emperor Humayun, and he honored the bond, proving Rakhi's strength transcends blood and borders.
