Indian King Puru showed extreme rage when Alexander Great had come to invade India.
The Great was moved by the anger Puru showed. Meantime, King Alexander’s wife came to know about Rakhi festival.
She then tied a knot on King Purus wrist.

. Goddess Lakshmi and King Mahabali
King of Demons, Mahabali was a passionate devotee of Lord Vishnu.
Lord Vishnu Impressed by his devotion and promised to protect Mahabali’s kingdom.
Vishnu left his own kingdom to stay in Mahabali’s place in order to fulfil his promise. Goddess Laskshmi, wife of the Lor Vishnu was set a back by all this.
Goddess Lakshmi approached Bali in the form of a Brahmin woman and showed her desire to stay at his place. On the occasion of Shravan Purnima, she tied a Rakhi on King Bali’s wrist.
After this, the day started knowing as Rakhi Purnima and even now Rakhsha Bandhan is celebrated on this day.
