An unbreakable bond between siblings

Today we are celebrating Raksha Bandhan, the festival that marks the unconditional love and affection between brothers and sisters. It is a time-honoured ritual of protection. While “Raksha” literally translates to ‘safety’, “bandhan” means ‘bond’, and the festival of Rakha Bandhan is a celebration of this unbreakable bond that exists between siblings with a promise to always be there to protect, no matter what the circumstances would be.
