RAKSHA BANDHAN CELEBRATION
Raksha Bandhan, (the bond of protection) or Rakhi is a Vedic festival primarily observed in India, Mauritius and Nepal, which celebrates the relationship between brothers, cousins and sisters. It is also called Rakhi Purnima in most of India.
The central ceremony involves the tying of a rakhi (sacred thread) by a sister on her brother's wrist. This symbolizes the sister's love and prayers for her brother's well-being, and the brother's lifelong vow to protect her. The festival falls on the full moon day (Shravan Poornima) of the Shravan month of the Hindu lunisolar calendar.
Upkeeping our culture and values related to festivals, students of RIS celebrated Raksha Bandhan on 1st August, 2012.
