On the occasion of ‘Raksha Bandhan’, school children tied ‘Rakhi’ to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on August 30. Raksha Bandhan is a traditionally Hindu annual rite that is central to a festival of the same name celebrated in South Asia. On this day, sisters of all ages tie an amulet called the Rakhi around the wrists of their brothers. They symbolically protect them, receive a gift in return, and traditionally invest in the brothers with a share of the responsibility of their potential care.
