On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, a celebration that represents the unbreakable link of love, trust, and protection between brothers and sisters, Union Home Minister Amit Shah sent his warmest greetings to the country on Saturday.
“Sincere greetings to all of our compatriots on the holy occasion of ‘Raksha Bandhan,’ which honors the unwavering connection of love, trust, and dedication to safeguarding one another,” HM Shah posted on social media site X. I ask God to grant everyone happiness and excitement during this occasion.
Deeply religious and culturally significant, Raksha Bandhan is observed on Saturday throughout India. Celebrated annually on the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Sawan, it honors the sibling tie of devotion.
In Hindu culture, the event is particularly cherished as a representation of protection, love, and trust.
“The festival of Raksha Bandhan is a symbol of the love, affection, and commitment between siblings,” said Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, who also expressed his warmest feelings for X. Warmest regards for this holy Raksha Bandhan celebration to all of our compatriots.
“The sacred knot of affection, the silent vow of trust, the vibrant expression of the unbreakable love between brother and sister, heartfelt congratulations to the people of the state on Rakshabandhan!” Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath added to the greetings on X. The spirit is bound by the Raksha Sutra’s fine thread, which does more than just tie the wrist. According to the Hindi article, “it weaves an eternal saga of dignity and intimacy in every era.”
In observance of the holiday, sisters wrap a protecting thread, called Rakhi, around their brothers’ wrists to represent their prayers for their welfare and the brothers’ promise to keep their sisters safe. In order to strengthen family ties, the celebrations involve rituals, get-togethers, and gift-giving.
