Importance of tying red, yellow, black threads on hand in Sanatan Dharma

Tying red threads on the wrist of right hand is considered highly meritorious and auspicious by many Hindus.

The red thread or rakshasutra or Mauli has the blessing of the deity in a temple. The thread is tied after blessing of the deity and special pujas in a temple or sacred place or Havan and puja at home. Different colors of thread are used like red, yellow, black and orange.

In North India, it is believed that the red thread brings fame, power and saves from evil.

When a person ties the red thread – Brahama blesses the person  with fame, Vishnu bless the person with power and Shiva saves him from all evil deeds.

In Gujarat and South India, people tie yellow, red, orange and black color threads.

Black color is believed to protect a person from evil. It is also tied to overcome fear.
