“The bond between
a sister and a brother, is sometimes tightly woven, sometimes loosely held, but
never broken”
Raksha Bandhan is a festival which celebrates the bond of a brother
and sister. This festival is celebrated in the Hindu religion. It is one of
their most important festivals. In addition, sisters and brothers wait eagerly
for it all round the year. People celebrate it with abundant zeal and
enthusiasm in India. Similarly, it does not matter if you are a kid or an adult. Brothers
and sisters of all ages celebrate Raksha Bandhan.
Furthermore, it strengthens
the bond between them as well. ‘Raksha’ translates to the protection and
‘Bandhan’ translates to bond. Thus, this explains the meaning of this festival.
Raksha Bandhan is
celebrated by following the Hindu Calendar. It falls in the month of Saawan and
people celebrate it on the last day of the month. This auspicious festival
usually falls around August only.
Aspire believes that such celebrations of festivals with
true spirit, teach students about our Indian traditions.
