Raksha Bandhan

11

Aug

Raksha Bandhan is a special festival in India that celebrates the love between brothers and sisters. On this day, which usually happens in August, a sister ties a colorful thread called a "rakhi" around her brother's wrist. This rakhi is a symbol of her love and wishes for his well-being. In return, the brother promises to protect his sister and often gives her a gift to show his appreciation. Families come together to celebrate, share sweets, and have fun. It's a day that shows how strong and caring the bond is between siblings.

How to celebrate Raksha Bandhan?

Start the day by picking a colorful rakhi for your brother. Bake or help make his favorite sweet treats like cookies or ladoos. Write a fun card telling him why he's the best brother. Gather your family together, and tie the rakhi on his wrist. Give him the card and sweets with a big smile. Maybe he'll surprise you with a gift too! Enjoy playing games or watching a movie together. Take a fun family photo to remember the day. Share happy moments, and thank each other for being awesome siblings! At night, enjoy a special family dinner together.
