Namashkar! Last month there were 2 major events for Indians 1) 15th August: the day India got independence from the British empire. and 2) Raksha Bandhan: is meant to commemorate the abiding ties between siblings of opposite sex. It is a very simple ceremony in which the women ties a rakhi (a colorful bracelet or a simple thread at the least) around the wrist of her brother(s). The word "raksha" signifies protection, and "bandhan" is an association signifying an enduring sort of bond; and so, when a woman ties a rakhi around the waist of her brother, she signifies her loving attachment to him. He, likewise, recognizes the special bonds between them, and by extending his wrist forward, he in fact extends the hand of his protection over her. We celebrated both the events and it was fun.
