The young girls were seen in a video tying Rakhis on the Prime Minister’s wrist and engaging in cheerful interactions with him.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Modi extended his warm wishes to the entire nation on this special day, which celebrates the profound love and connection between brothers and sisters.
“Best wishes to all countrymen on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, a festival symbolizing the immense love between brother and sister. May this holy festival bring new sweetness in the relationships of all of you and happiness, prosperity and good fortune in life,” he said in a post on X.
Raksha Bandhan, an age-old Hindu tradition, holds immense significance in Indian culture. The festival revolves around the sacred ritual of sisters tying a Rakhi, a decorative thread, around the wrists of their brothers.
In return, brothers present gifts to their sisters, pledging to protect and care for them. This beautiful custom has been observed for generations, with ancient Hindu scriptures mentioning instances of sisters seeking protection through the tying of Rakhis.
