Rakshabandhan

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

For those who are not aware of culture in India.

 

Today is the festival of Raksha Bandhan. Raksha means 'Protection' and

bandhan means a 'knot'. A string or a decorated string is tied on wrists of

brothers by their sisters, today. The brothers vow to protect and help their

sisters through all difficulties and sisters pray for their brothers' well

being.

 

A one of its kind of festival, it is slowly being celebrated by people

of all faiths in India. Festivals like these should spread to all parts of the

world so that bonhomie among family members and in society increases.

 

I have five Rakhis (ceremonial threads) tied to my wrists. More are

still to come before sunset.

 

HAPPY RAKSHABANDHAN TO ALL

 

 

Ashutosh
