🎥✨ Rakshabandhan 2025 – A Celebration of Unity & Service ✨🎥

This year’s Rakshabandhan Festival was truly special as we celebrated the milestone of 105 partner organisations coming together under the HOTA Forum 🤝.

The event was not only about honouring our cultural traditions but also about expressing gratitude to those who selflessly serve our society. As always, we extended heartfelt thanks to:
