Warm Rotaract Greetings!!!
Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi, is a cherished Indian festival that celebrates the bond of love, affection, and protection between siblings. It is observed on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravana and falls on 28 August in 2026. The festival symbolises the enduring connection and mutual care shared between brothers and sisters.
The occasion is traditionally marked by sisters tying a Rakhi, a sacred thread, around their brothers’ wrists, followed by prayers for their well-being and prosperity. Brothers, in return, express their affection through gifts and a promise of support. The celebration highlights values of love, respect, trust, and togetherness that strengthen family bonds.
RACGVP celebrates Raksha Bandhan, honouring the spirit of love, protection, and togetherness that strengthens relationships and communities.
