Rakhi celebration is an epitome of peace and faith that binds people and a celebration of brotherhood and respect for humankind. Earlier it was a ritual that was meant only for siblings; Today Raksha Bandhan has crossed boundaries and now people tie Rakhis to their colleagues, classmates, neighbours as a symbol of peace and protection.”
