Sisters break the fast only after tying Rakhi to her brother. But, this tradition is not followed all across India. There are some regions that believe that fasting is of utmost significance in the festival of Rakhi. The importance of keeping fast on Rakhi is the observer is giving up on the feelings and intention of greed and gluttony and seek the blessings of GOD on this spiritual day. The tradition of keeping fast is also important as these significant rituals lend spirituality and purity to the Rakhi festival. Also, through fasting, sisters bless their brothers with long life, prosperity, health, wealth, and happiness.
