The festive spirit of Raksha Bandhan has kicked off in India, with schoolgirls and women in Udhampur tying rakhis onto the wrists of CRPF jawans. Raksha Bandhan, an annual celebration in India, honours the special bond between brothers and sisters, symbolised by sisters tying rakhis on their brothers’ wrists.
Partaking in the festive spirit, BSF jawans also took part in Raksha Bandhan celebrations along the international border in the Samba sector of Jammu and Kashmir. Meanwhile, an endearing campaign titled ‘Thanks Jawan’ unfolded in Boniyar, nestled in the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir. Here, women wholeheartedly crafted rakhis for the soldiers, adding a touch of warmth to the upcoming festival.
The joyous celebrations have also commenced in Chhattisgarh, where women tied rakhis on the wrists of CRPF jawans in the Sukma district.
In eager anticipation of the Raksha Bandhan festival, numerous female students have meticulously woven a multitude of rakhis. Their collective aspiration is to achieve an impressive target of 10,000 rakhis, which they intend to tie onto the wrists of police officers, army personnel, and Border Security Force representatives.
This year, Raksha Bandhan falls on the evening of August 30. Unlike previous years when the festival was celebrated throughout the day or in the morning, it will be observed during the night hours. Raksha Bandhan is traditionally celebrated on the full moon day, also known as Poornima Tithi, of the Shukla Paksha in the auspicious month of Shravan.
