Rakhi 2025: From heartfelt viral videos to hilarious memes, social media has it all

As siblings across India celebrate Raksha Bandhan today, the festival’s traditional charm is meeting the boundless creativity of the internet. While rakhi threads, sweets, and gifts remain at the heart of the celebration, social media platforms are adding an extra layer of fun.

From nostalgic throwbacks about childhood squabbles to exaggerated jokes about siblings’ never-ending demands for gifts, meme creators are leaving no stone unturned.

The memes are not just about laughter — they also reflect how Raksha Bandhan has evolved in the digital age. While the essence of the bond remains timeless, the way people express it has expanded beyond physical celebrations to include viral content that everyone can enjoy. Whether shared in family WhatsApp groups or across Instagram reels or Twitter, these posts are adding a new, lighthearted sparkle to the age-old festival.
