This Raksha Bandhan, nurture the sibling bond with these healthy gift options

Friday July 31, 2020 , 4 min Read

The Indian festival of Raksha Bandhan celebrates the loving bond between brothers and sisters. Each year, according to the tradition, a sister ties a colourful thread or ‘Rakhi’ on the brother’s wrist, making him promise that he will always protect her. The end of this event is marked by siblings exchanging sweets and gifts with each other. 


However, this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these celebrations will be restricted to the virtual medium, taking place over Zoom calls or on other social media platforms.
