Guwahati: Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival that celebrates the bond of love and protection between siblings, particularly between brothers and sisters.
The festival is typically observed on the full moon day in the Hindu month of Shravana, which usually falls in August. This year, Raksha Bandhan falls on Wednesday, August 30.
On this day, sisters tie colorful threads or “rakhi” bracelets around their brothers’ wrists, symbolising their love, prayers for their well-being, and the brothers’ promise to protect them. In return, brothers often give gifts or tokens of appreciation to their sisters.

Surprise your brother or sister with the sweetest Rakhi wishes and greetings that we curated especially for you!
