•    Lord Yama and Goddess Yamuna
Yama, God of Death, visited his sister Goddess Yamuna after 12 long years. She was elated and prepared a lavish feast for his brother comprising of all his favorite dishes. When he came to visit her, she welcomed him with a tilak and tied a thread on his hand. Yama was moved by this gesture and asked Yamuna about the gift she wants. On which, she asked him to visit her regularly. Yama, then blessed her with immortality and promised to protect her from any difficulty.
•    Krishna and Draupadi
On the day of Makar Sankranti, Lord Krishna cut his finger. Draupadi, on seeing it, immediately tied a cloth from her Saree on his finger. Lord Krishna then promised to protect her in every challenging and difficult time. This promise, he fulfilled at the time of her cheer haran, by extending her Saree and protecting her from Kauravas.
•    Goddess Laxmi and King Bali
King Bali was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu. One day he prayed to Vishnu for protection. Lord Vishnu, pleased with his devotion, fulfilled his prayer by disguising as his doorman. Goddess Lakshmi missed Lord Vishnu in Vaikuntha. So, she disguised herself as a homeless woman and sought shelter in Bali’s kingdom. Lord Bali, being one of the kindest rulers, welcomed her and gave her shelter and in turn, his kingdom prospered. On Shravana Purnima, Goddess Lakshmi tied a sacred thread on Bali’s wrist for his protection. Lord Bali then asked her about what gift she wants on which she pointed towards the doorman. Then, Lord Vishnu revealed his identity. Bali requested Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi to go back to their abode. But, knowing Bali’s devotion, Lord Vishnu promised to spend 4 months in Bali’s kingdom.
