Raksha Bandhan, one of India’s most cherished festivals, is being celebrated across the country with joy and devotion. The occasion, which honors the sacred bond between brothers and sisters, sees sisters tying a rakhi—a symbolic thread—on their brothers’ wrists, while brothers pledge to protect and support them. This year’s festivities are marked by a blend of tradition and modernity, with celebrations taking place both in person and virtually. Markets are vibrant with colorful rakhis, sweets, and gifts, reflecting the festival’s enduring cultural and emotional significance.
