Festivals Around The World Questions
Raksha Bandhan is celebrated in India as a festival that symbolizes the bond of love and protection between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a sacred thread called "rakhi" around their brothers' wrists, while praying for their well-being and happiness. In return, brothers give gifts to their sisters and promise to protect and support them throughout their lives. The festival is also marked by family gatherings, feasts, and exchanging sweets.
