PM Modi Celebrating Rakhi
Significance of Raksha Bandhan
Raksha Bandhan takes place on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravan. The tradition marks the bond between brothers and sisters. A sister ties a Rakhi on her brother’s wrist and prays for his happiness and safety, while the brother promises to protect her in all situations. The festival holds a deep cultural and emotional meaning for families across India.
Celebrations at the PM’s Residence
The Prime Minister welcomed schoolchildren, women from self-help groups, and members of various communities to his residence. PM Modi personally greeted each visitor, interacted with them, and posed for photographs. The atmosphere remained warm and joyful, with blessings and light moments shared throughout the event. The celebrations showcased India’s cultural traditions and reflected the government’s focus on women’s empowerment.
Rakhi Traditions Across India
In North India, families exchange sweets and gifts after the Rakhi ceremony. In Maharashtra, Raksha Bandhan falls on Narali Purnima, which signals the start of the fishing season. In South India, the day coincides with Avani Avittam, when men in Tamil Nadu and Kerala perform thread-changing rituals. These regional customs add variety to the festival while keeping its core meaning intact.
