one day, he started to abuse Krishna with slang and harsh language. Krishna started to count Shishupala's last few mistakes. once he crossed the limit of 100 mistakes, Krishna threw his Sudarshan chakra and killed Shishupala.
During this process, everyone noticed that one of Krishna's fingers was bleeding. everyone started to find some piece of clothing to tie around his finger. Draupadi tore up his saree and give part to tie Krishna's finger.
Krishna assured Draupadi that Krishna will help him too when she will be in danger.
Since then the little piece of saree that was tied around the finger of Krishna by Draupadi was called rakhi.
every year sisters tied a rakhi around her brother's hand and the brothers promised their beloved sister to protect them from any kind of danger.
