Hi Readers ! We have two festivals together this week . Independence Day & Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi). Raksha Bandhan is primarily a North Indian festival kindling the deepest emotions of love and affection amongst the siblings. Just like all Indian festivals, this is also celebrated with lots of verve. The sister ties the rakhi on the brother's wrist and both pray for each others' well being followed by a pledge from the brother to take care of his sister under all circumstances. The brother then usually gifts something to the sister to mark the occasion. Perhaps it is the only festival in the world that symbolises the love between a brother and sister. My greetings to all on this festival. In our regular series some beautiful se-tenants on birds from the album of Mr. Shrikant Parikh.....This is all for today .... Have a Great Time....& .. Enjoy the Beautiful Festival ....!
Rakhi.....It happens only in India.......
