Hues of Rakhi

Published
8

The Hindu community celebrate the love between siblings through the festivities of Raksha Bandhan in their homes and temples around Pakistan.

On the day of Raksha Bandhan sisters tie Rakhi on their brother's wrist to express their love for them. By accepting the Rakhi, a brother gladly takes on the responsibility of protecting his sister. In Hindu tradition a frail thread of Rakhi is considered stronger than iron chains as it binds brothers and sisters in an inseparable bond of love and trust.
