Lord Krishna and Draupadi

Lord Krishna had once got a cut on his ring finger. On seeing this Draupadi immediately tore a piece of cloth from her saree and tied it in his finger.

Later, when she was humiliated in front of hundreds of men and people had attempted to disrobe her, Lord Krishna returned her the piece of cloth in the form of a never ending saree.

Goddess Laxmi and King Bali

Lord Vishnu was returning a favor King Bali had done for him by being his personal gatekeeper. Laxmi was upset about not able to get the time of her husband. So, she went to Bali in disguise and tied him a thread representing trust and love. In return King Bali granted her wish of taking back her husband – Lord Vishnu along with her.
