Raksha Bandhan celebrated with traditional fervour in Jammu and Kashmir

On this auspicious day, sisters’ express love and affection towards their brother’s by tying a Rakhi, the sacred thread, to their brother’s wrist. One of them speaks about the importance of Raksha Bandhan and how the rakhi has a power which will protect them, no matter where they are. When you tie a rakhi, you expect your brother to give you a tangible gift, not just a solemn vow, an idea reinforced by all the ads of chocolates and phones and life insurance. Happy Raksha Bandhan sweety!

Jaisalmer: Raksha Bandhan for the Bhil community, which has seen large-scale migration from Pakistan in the last few years, remains an affair of longing as brothers and sisters separated by the borders don’t get to meet each other on the day.

Amitabh Bachchan posted a picture of himself with lots of Rakhis hanging in the background and “Happy Rakhsha Bandhan” written on it. I’m not saying we have to look at all women as sisters but we have to learn to respect and treat them the way we would want our sisters to be treated. “Happy Rakhi to t sweetest bro in t wrld!”.

“Actress-producer Dia Mirza said, “It is her love and friendship that will protect you”. A bond between a brother and sister is a true identity of the culture of our country. This Raksha Bandhan brings all my blessings, love and care for you! Mithun Chakraborty played the role of a mechanic named Vijay who struggles to find suitable grooms for his sisters.

Shraddha Kapoor: Blessed to tie Rakhi every year to my two precious brothers. Since every person is unique, so are their tastes and preferences, not everyone likes the same things. For me its a sibling festival never mind if its bhai-bhai, sister-sister or brother-sister. Wishing You Life’s Best Always. But We R Close In Each Others Thought And My Love Will Always Be With U…
