Relationships are the essence of any festivity and it holds true for

 any Indian festival. Each occasion brings the family together which

 calls for a celebration. Raksha Bandhan is a celebration of one 

such relation - that of a brother and a sister. This relationship is no

 where so celebrated as in India. Raksha Bandhan is a festival 

which celebrates the bond of affection between brothers and sisters

It is a day when siblings pray for each others' well being and wish

 for each others' happiness and goodwill.

With Raksha Bandhan coming up on Aug 9th, involve your kids in


 making a raakhi. They will enjoy the craft and learn a bit more 


about Indian culture.
