Raksha Bandhan is observed with sisters tying a rakhi on their brothers’ wrists and offering prayers for their well-being and prosperity. Brothers traditionally reciprocate with gifts and a commitment to stand by their sisters.
The festival has also come to symbolise broader values of familial affection, mutual responsibility and trust.
