Every year, Raksha Bandhan is celebrated across the country with huge pomp for the unique bond that siblings share. Colourful rakhis, new clothes and family reunions are what make this festival special.
From slipping into the role of a friend to wearing the mantle of a parent, siblings share a bond that is incomparable. In India, the importance of this relationship is celebrated with the festival of Raksha Bandhan and is signified by the tying of a sacred thread (Rakhi) around the hands of brothers by their sisters. With this, the siblings vow to protect each other in the face of the many challenges that life will invariably throw at them.
This year, Raksha Bandhan falls on 22 August, Sunday. Much like last year, celebrations are expected to be muted as people across the country continue to exercise caution in the face of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
