भाई-बहन का रिश्ता उस फुलवारी की तरह होता है जिसमें सम्मान, प्रेम और आपसी समझदारी की बुनियाद पर अलग-अलग रंगों वाली यादें, संग के किस्से-कहानियाँ व दोस्ती को और गहरा करने का संकल्प फलता-फूलता है।
भाई-बहन संघर्ष के साथी होते हैं, स्मृतियों के हमराही भी और संगवारी के खेवैया भी।… pic.twitter.com/4zkX1rISrN

Significance of Raksha Bandhan
Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi, falls on August 19 this year. It is a traditional Hindu festival that honors the special relationship between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a rakhi, a ceremonial thread, around their brothers’ wrists, symbolizing a promise of protection and care. In return, brothers offer gifts as a token of their love and commitment.
