We wish our subscribers a happy Raksha Bandhan, a Hindu festival celebrating the special bond of love, care and protection between brothers and sisters.Raksha Bandhan is celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravana (usually in August). The name of the festival means “bond of protection”.
👧🧑 Traditionally, sisters tie a sacred thread called a “rakhi” around their brothers’ wrists, pray for their long lives, while brothers give gifts and promise to protect their sisters.
Modern celebrations extend beyond blood siblings to close friends, cousins and others who care for and support one another.
